European Meetings & Events Conference 2010 Pre-Conference Webinar

Past Pre-Conference Webinar

Let’s Connect! How to get the most out of your networking

RECORDED SESSION COMING SOON!

Speaker: Jan Vermeiren
Date: Wednesday - February 10, 2010
Start Time: 6PM CMT +1 (Brussels time)
Cost: FREE 

Many people go to conventions (like the European Meetings & Events Conference in Malaga), receptions and other networking events and have the feeling they don’t get the maximum out of it.

Next to that many attendants have a hard time to make contact with other people, go beyond superficial chit chat or end a conversation in a gracious way. Other people wonder “Why don’t people remember me or contact me after we have met” and “How can I keep in touch with the people I have met”.

After this web seminar you will:

• Know how to prepare yourself to any convention or networking event so you will get the maximum out of your attendance
• Feel comfortable in making contact with other people, have meaningful conversations and end them in a gracious way
• Answer the question “And what do you do?” in a way you will be remembered (Sticky Story)
• Know how and when to follow up after the event and start reaping the benefits from your attendance

This webinar is a mix of Jan Vermeiren’s knowledge from his books Lets Connect! and How to REALLY use LinkedIn, his audio CD Let’s Connect at an event and his presentations and training courses.

Jan will also speak at the Malaga conference about How to REALLY use LinkedIn and he will be conducting a session on networking in the MY MPI – Information session for new members and first time conference attendees.
