What is it about?

Our society is changing dramatically
Thirty percent of the world’s Internet population is using social media tools and participating in social networks, and even more are reading daily updates of blogs and forum posts. Social media is not only the fastest growing technology in history, it is changing the face of business more than ever.

Who are the top networkers in the world?
High Connected Individuals (HighCIs) are the “High Ciciety” of tomorrow. Connections will soon be more worth than anything else. It’s no news that the most successful businesses leaders are the ones with the “Good Connections.” Now, in our connected world, it’s no longer the “Country Club” but the world networks where influence happens. Who is the new “World Connection Elite?” We will soon find out who the world’s most influential networkers and most important content contributors are.

The Event – the contest
HighCiciety.com, the Global Network Elite™ organization, is running a contest to invite the power networkers to grow their networks and demonstrate their ability to create not only large numbers of connections, but meaningful interactions with the networks they build.

Who should participate?

Network/Community Builder
Every business networker who has a large number of connections and an interest in social business networking should join the contest. If you have 250 or more connections and are interested in demonstrating your ability to network as well as develop a vibrant community, you have a great chance of becoming one of the winners in that contest.

Content Contributor
If your personal network is small, but you are a very active contributor on blogs, forums, groups and other networks, you should join for a chance to become one of the world’s leading content contributors.

Who will be the winner?
