Past Event Everyone Else Knows Something You Don’t: Why Mentoring and Networking Matter Tuesday, October 2, 2018 SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA SPONSORS: Cal Poly | Abbott Having a well-established network is an important factor in creating opportunities for career shifts, career advancement, and professional fulfillment. Whether you are just starting out in the Medtech industry or are the CEO, it is important to create connections with women all around you – those that you aspire to follow and those climbing the ladder behind you. Being a mentor, and finding and utilizing mentors, is crucial to your own career and to bringing up the next generation of women. This event will draw together women from the Bay Area and Southern California at various levels in their career in the Medtech industry, and will include women engineering and business students from Cal Poly and beyond. Please join us to learn strategies for cultivating crucial relationships, expand your knowledge of the Medtech industry community, and create connections at all levels that will strengthen your professional network.
