Hotel Gatherly: Cultivating and harvesting your skills via informal (and oddly eccentric) networks

In order to advance in your profession, you need to network. But which networks should you join? How do they help you to grow? What is the required demeanour? This poster shows how a group of higher education professionals created an informal network that allowed them to contribute their individual skills in an authentic manner. You can explore what you can bring to a network, how to find one to suit your needs and how to grow your international education skills outside formal training.
