Brian Loebig and Tamika Smith are happy to announce that they will be the new hosts of LinkedIn Local MoCo! What is LinkedIn Local MoCo? LinkedIn Local is an event geared toward helping LinkedIn members get to know one another in real life. The local meetups happen all over the globe. “MoCo” stands for the recurring event that brings people together in Montgomery County, Maryland. Brian and Tamika will take over hosting duties for Business Consultant and LinkedIn Strategist, Kelly Leonard.
During small business consulting sessions and public speaking engagements, Brian frequently points out LinkedIn as an incredibly useful tool for making business connections and seeking career opportunities. LinkedIn Local MoCo gives it the personal touch. The purpose of the no-pitch, no-selling meetup is to unite people beyond their profile pics, catchy headlines, and company names to connect, collaborate, and build community in real time. Attendees are united around the common belief that with authenticity, respect, and collaboration they can unlock doors to prosperous, sustainable living.
LinkedIn Local MoCo events happen throughout Montgomery County Maryland at co-working spaces, business offices, non-profits and other venues. We serve wine, cheese, and networking, followed by a keynote speakers or a panel discussion. Previous speakers included Laverne Franklin-Jones of LFJ Fashion Styling Services with a topic entitled “Elevate your style: Making a statement without saying a word.” The session explored why personal style matters in business, how image affects your bottom line, and more.
