Building a PCN – Social Network Experiment

Rutherford International is developing a Private Communications Network (PCN) to connect ReferralNET Ambassadors, KnowledgeNET Advisors, and Talent Marketplace members within a hub for affinity-based communities. Our objective is to establish a collaborative learning environment that utilizes diverse channels for the crowd-sourcing of knowledge.

We cordially invite professional service firms and suppliers operating in the sectors of investment, real property, civil infrastructure, corporate services, data centers, nuclear power generation, smart grid technology, sustainable energy, and construction to engage with us regarding opportunities to sponsor digital conferences and informative webinars. The PCN presents a valuable platform to demonstrate your expertise while expanding your audience reach. We encourage you to contact us for further discussion.
