Grow your own network effect.
Connect to ideas, people and business opportunities.
We are powered by those who view Greater Madison as not only a place but also the goal. Whether you’re a young professional starting your career or an established CEO, there is a diverse range of opportunities to enhance your network.
Our fast-growing city means an ever-evolving network where each new connection represents a potential colleague, collaborator, mentor, champion or friend. You will create connections through our networking events, affinity-based groups and community programming that will open the door to your Next Big Thing.
Helping You Connect
According to a survey by HubSpot, 85% of all jobs are filled through networking. Greater Madison has 18-plus chambers of commerce and partner organizations ready to help you connect.
The Network Effect
LinkedIn research suggests that a single new connection can potentially lead to access to more than 400 new contacts through that person’s network.
Real World Connections
A study conducted by the Harvard Business School showed that companies whose real-world employee connections put them at the center of their professional communities performed better than peer companies whose workforces were less well-connected.
“Madison isn’t just a place to advance your career—it’s a vibrant community where your personal passions and professional growth can thrive together.”
