This week we took inspiration from one of our #EYorksHour networkers and set a theme to re-introduce participants to one another, whilst learning a bit more about what they do as a business, charity or hobby. Using the hashtag #ShowandTell we gave networkers three points of action; tell us, show us and interact with each other.
As it was a different theme to previous weeks, we’ve decided to share the tweets of networkers introducing themselves to the group, in case you missed them and would benefit from connecting.
(Please note that note that the #EYorksHour blog doesn’t usually list tweets in this way and is a one off to #ShowandTell the fantastic networkers).
