This program has been very helpful for me by allowing access to my professional contacts within almashines, I am able use it as both personal communication tool with other members or business networking opportunities during events hosted here.
It does not have any down sides that i can think of yet but they are working hard at improving their services so maybe this will be improved over time? The benefits include building relationships through contact lists from previous years who attended similar programs which may then lead into future projects together while also being socializing amongst alumni professionals/connections.
