You don't have to leave your desk to grow your network this week. Here are the best online and virtual picks for entrepreneurs and marketers, running from today through next Monday.

Enterprise Nation's lunch-and-learn webinar series brings in marketing professionals to answer live questions on getting more out of your email list — open rates, segmentation, and turning subscribers into customers. It's a low-commitment way to pick up a tactic or two you can put to work the same day.

Beyond the Buzzwords: Real Marketing Tech, Live in Action
Hosted by the American Marketing Association and sponsored by Canto, this session cuts through the AI-in-marketing hype with hands-on demos across automation, measurement, and personalization. Good for marketers who want to see real tools in action instead of another slide deck of buzzwords.

UX Foundations for Marketers (Part 1 of 2)
A hands-on AMA bootcamp session connecting UX fundamentals to marketing performance — design thinking, accessibility, and applying both to real digital challenges. Useful if you're a marketer who increasingly owns landing pages, funnels, or product touchpoints and wants a sharper eye for what's working against you.
