Where to find spaces for Networking

Tips for interacting during a virtual event

• Introduce yourself and explain in 5 seconds what you do, if you are given the option

• Interact at the event with input or questions

• If in the end they give you the opportunity, prepare a text with what you offer and your contacts

• At the end of a workshop you can take the initiative to create a group on WhatsApp and share the link for your colleagues to join.

• If you see a profile on a social network that catches your attention because of your work, try to set up a meeting

It is important to constantly generate connections, do not fall into a dead end…….

Being with the same connections or circle of acquaintances will not allow you to grow, it is important that you relate to new professionals and that you are constantly learning.
