MKELive Provides Favre-Free Networking!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

No one will mention “that” guy when
MKELive introduces its new website

(MILWAUKEE, WI) Enough already.

On September 14th, MKELive will introduce its new website during the fall’s first LinkedIn-Milwaukee event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Wauwatosa.

The event will also be considered a “Favre-free zone,” in reference to minimizing or eliminating redundant conversation about the waffling, media-manipulating, attention-hogging, former Green Bay Packers quaterback.

“We’re really looking forward to introducing the new mkelive.com and explaining how it is such an improved networking and training tool,” said Katie Felten, managing partner and president of MKE Live. “The ‘Favre-free Zone’ is just for fun. Although, people might have to find another subject to begin their networking conversations – like Aaron Rodgers.”

Felten is featured in LinkedWorking: Generating Success On the World’s Largest Professional Networking Website. She is recognized throughout the state as a leading trainer in LinkedIn. She is frequently asked to speak to professional organizations about LinkedIn and social networking media, and has been quoted in media throughout the state. Since April, more than 2,000 people have attended MKELive’s LinkedIn training and networking events.

While admission to all LinkedIn-Milwaukee events is normally $10, attendees wearing Packers-gear (e.g., hats, shirts, accessories, socks, etc.) to this September’s event will be admitted for free.

LinkedIn-Milwaukee will be held on Monday, September 14th from 5:30-8:30 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Wauwatosa (located at 10499 Innovation Drive, Wauwatosa, WI 53226). Networkers are encouraged to pre-register at www.mkelive.com/calendar .
