Welcome to Intersect! You can add events, videos, create discussion and groups and invite your friends and colleagues to join. It's your network, so use it in ways that will support your networking, and contact us if there is something we can help with.
It makes the networking a lot easier when people pop up a profile photo - so I encourage you to do this when you have a moment. And I promise I'll say hi if I bump into you in the supermarket!
Kind regards, Megan and the Intersect crew
