I think I know the answer but it would be good to hear opinions...
I am a marketing freelancer. In my niche there are a couple of key networking orgs.
Org 1 is run by somebody I really like and 'get'. They often support me by offering speaking opps at their well received events. I also feel the organiser has become a friend in a way and they confide in me about their network a little.
Org 2. I don't know the organiser at all but they organise well attended events. Org 2 has suggested that they might be interested in swapping entrance (which is normally £000) to a forthcoming event for some consultancy from me in helping them build up their profile etc.
I feel loyal to Org 1and feel that working with (as opposed to paying for straightforward entrance) with Org 2 would put me in a difficult position.
However, the person who runs Org 1 could potentially be in competiton with me in the near future if they change their employment. So there is a little of me that feels I should look out for myself.
I don't need to attend Org 2's event. I just happen to be free and thought it would be good to go. I could also do without paying the normal fee.
