Why I skip many so-called AI networking events Too many are filled with people using brand-new AI titles without building anything brand-new at all. Yesterday they were selling SEO, funnels, or generic automations. Today they are suddenly “AI experts.” That doesn’t mean networking is useless. It means generic AI networking often has very little value for real builders. The better rooms are filled with: Business owners with real problems Operators with urgent pain points Decision-makers Referral partners People who can actually buy, build, or collaborate Real builders don’t need more noise. They need better rooms!
