# Offline Activities > I attended an offline event held by the Digital Business Leaders club. Data, discussion and even a conversation about watches made for lively networking away from the screen. - Canonical page: https://shorin.me/en/blog/2024/09/offline-activities/ - Page language: English - Published: 2024-09-02 - Tags: DigitalTransformation, Networking - Russian version: https://shorin.me/blog/2024/09/offline-activities/index.md Offline activities… I subscribed to the [Digital Business Leaders](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12968022/) group on LinkedIn quite some time ago and have followed its events with great interest. It is a relatively small group, and that is precisely its value: it allows members to select relevant activities for a highly specialised audience. Some time ago, I contacted the group’s members to ask how I could join. I was already acquainted remotely with some people in this community, so I knew that its goals, tasks and interests were very close to my own. Last week, I was invited to another in-person event and attended it with pleasure. I listened to an interesting lecture on correcting errors in huge data sets. I know this area quite well, as my dissertation is devoted to this very subject. There was also a fascinating discussion in the corridor about data cleansing and even about self-winding mechanical [watches](https://shorin.me/en/blog/2024/08/patek-philippe/index.md). It turned out that the Digital Business Leaders group was planning a visit and masterclass at a watch school in October. I simply could not pass that up! Unfortunately, my schedule at [RANEPA](https://shorin.me/en/blog/2024/06/kursovaya-rabota/index.md) is quite busy in September, so I will not be able to take a full part in the club’s activities. I will try to attend those that do not clash with my studies. In October, however, I will begin preparing my diploma project, things will become easier, and I plan to throw myself into the group’s work. The group photo from the event has already been posted and reposted many times by the [community](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/maksim-koropchenko-cmo-cdo-cdto_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%B4%D1%80%D1%83%D0%B7%D1%8C%D1%8F-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9-%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%8F%D1%86-%D0%BB%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B0-%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BA-activity-7235215195608875009-OVsX), so I will publish a photo of us together with [Maksim Koropchenko, Chief of Marketing and Transformation](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maksim-koropchenko-cmo-cdo-cdto), one of the founders of the Digital Business Leaders club. ## Media ## Original posts - LinkedIn:
