Networking powerhouse: Turn connections into success at the Nedbank Top Empowerment Conference

The Nedbank Top Empowerment Conference, taking place from 17-18 July 2024 at the Maslow Hotel Sandton, is about more than just about compelling, insightful presentations and thought-provoking discussions. It’s a powerful opportunity to build connections that can help you reach your goals. But with hundreds of people from a wide range of fields and organisations in attendance, how do you ensure that your networking efforts are fruitful? 

Using our decades of experience we’ve put together some strategies to help you  turn the Nedbank Top Empowerment Conference into a springboard for success:

Before the conference: Be a networking ninja

• Target your connections: Identify individuals whose expertise aligns with your business goals. Leverage the conference agenda and attendee list to create a target list
• Connect on social media: Reach out to potential connections on LinkedIn beforehand. Break the ice with a personalised message mentioning your interest in their work or a specific session you'll both be attending
• Craft your elevator pitch: A concise and compelling introduction is crucial. Briefly explain who you are, what your business does, and the value you offer
