Networking is a huge part of how I've helped build the agency at eROI and it's a very strong element of the culture here at eROI with all employees. There is so much learning in the networking/education process. Bram – thank you.

And, man, was I blown away by both! The graduates' books were getting consistently better across the board, and your talk was downright relevant and inspiring. As a freelance researcher/brand strategist/account planner by day and geek/social software anthropologist/designer by night, I am convinced that one of your key points, networking, is an often overlooked but very crucial piece of the career puzzle; and that nowhere else can this fact be more true than in Portland. Frankly, I think that every graduates need more talks along the lines of one that you delivered. Thanks again!
