Free Guide and Excel Template: How to Calculate Your ROI on Networking Events

How do you determine the amount of real value you’re getting in return for the money and time you spend networking?  

Whether you’re an associate, fund partner, investment banker, broker, business development officer, strategic acquirer or company owner, you’re constantly reminded that networking is a critical element of closing deals in the capital markets. However between hard expenses (e.g., registration, travel, etc.) and soft expenditures (e.g., time), the real cost of attending receptions, dinners, cocktail parties, seminars, summits, trade shows and conferences can be quite high.
