Learn how to confidently engage in conversations and build your network at our event "How do you network?"
About this Event

There are hundreds of networking events and meeting places where the foundations for promising business deals are laid. Many people find it difficult to strike up a conversation with strangers, and due to this social discomfort, avoid or fear networking events. So, how do you ensure such an event proves beneficial for you and your business? How do you cope with the awkwardness of a conversation with someone you don't know? And how do you ensure that you make meaningful connections?

What's in it for you?

In an interactive manner, you will discover, together with business developers, what is important when networking and how to do it in a way that strengthens your business. They will give you the confidence to impress at your next networking event. You'll enhance your pitch, and learn how to make an open and positive first impression. As a result, you'll be able to lay the foundation for new contacts with confidence, potentially leading to promising deals. And… we have a nice ‘give a way’ waiting for you as a participant of this workshop. A personalised digital (NFC) business card, specially created for you!

Who can join?

Are you engaged in business or planning to start your own company? Are you curious about how networking can help you get to know your (potential) customers and suppliers? If the answer is yes, we invite you to join this Networking Workshop.

Order your free ticket!

This event is open to everyone. We will create several groups, depending on the number of participants.

Good to know

On Wednesday at Avans Hogeschool (Breda) , two activities will take place as part of the Global Entrepreneurship Week. Part 1 is an interactive workshop 'How do you network?' where you will gain valuable insights and practical tools, and part 2 is a networking session 'Meet the entrepreneurs' where you can immediately apply what you’ve learned by connecting with other participants. If you attend both activities, you will also receive a free digital business card with an NFC chip right after the workshop. Please note that you need to register for each activity separately via Eventbrite.
