Greetings!

In the process of working towards any goal, you also have to remember that by attending an event you can also meet people that can help you achieve your goals. Weight out the benefits over the costs and plan ahead when you attend an event. You never know what you'll learn and who you might be able to help.

Please look over the events, perhaps you'll find an event of your interest.
Best regards,
Ana Patiño
