About

I am Lisa Ghisolf, President of Gizmo Design, Inc., and I supply the majority of the networking events here, with others added by valued contacts I’ve made over the years, and of course, you!

Why networking?

At the beginning of 2003, as I was starting my firm, I found that networking was the best way to connect with the people I wanted to do business with, and their networks. A few events here and there, and I was hooked.

As a “veteran” of the past 8+ years in the Chicago networking scene, I’ve seen a lot of networking events come and go. On any given day there are far too many to attend, in dozens of industries. And sooner or later, if you network enough, people start to ask you where the next great event is.

Finally, here’s my response: Right now, I’m pulling various Facebook and Plancast feeds, plus the many I come across on a daily basis.

Keep coming back! Bookmark and subscribe to the site, and share amongst your own networks. Every person this site touches means another possible networking contact! And, don’t hesitate to share your events with me — if there’s a networking component I’ll be glad to post it!

Enjoy! This site will grow with your help. Please don’t mind the construction dust either — this site will always be evolving!

Regards,

Lisa Ghisolf
