International Networking Week® 2012 is almost here and with it comes tremendous opportunity for businesspeople across the globe to grow business through the development of powerful new connections!

International Networking Week® is about celebrating the key role that networking plays in the development and successs of business around the world.  It's about creating an awareness of the process of networking.  Not just any kind of networking, but "relationship networking"--an approach to doing business based on building long-term, successful relationships with people through the networking process.

Over the past few years, International Networking Week has been gaining momentum worldwide and last year the Week was recognized by tens of thousands of people around the world and acknowledged by many governmental agencies and high profile organizations. 

The number of people participating in this year's celebration of International Networking Week®, through hundreds of large events and thousands of smaller events, is expected to be even greater than it was in 2011.
