NetworkBash Spring 2009 Panel Discussion

NetworkBash was first established in Spring 2009 and was held in McKissick Theater at Clemson University’s Hendrix Center. Bobby Rettew’s Business Writing Class (English 304) created and executed this first NetworkBash.  They created a model bridging the gap between academia and industry by bring professionals and students under one roof to talk about Social Media and building relationships that would lead to jobs.

The first panelist are as listed: Olivier Blanchard, Steve Gonzalez, John Warner, Phil Yanov, and Trey Pennington. Each one of these entrepreneurs created conversation concerning Social Media, face-to-face, and other traditional methods to build relationships.

The best part about this first event is that the Clemson Business Writing students executed this event. As owners of this event, they were able to connect with other students (using Facebook, word of mouth, and flyers) to attract them to NetworkBash.
