Networkers receive master class at Regent's Park venue during Eventia's Summer get-together

Delegates who attended Eventia’s summer networking party, held at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) on 1 September were treated to a 90-minute master class in how to network more effectively, delivered by business author and trainer, Andy Lopata.

The interactive ‘how to seminar’ on ‘Networking in the Real World’ brought home the idea that networking should be used to establish better relationships, ensure wider referrals, reach more people through people and establish enhanced support mechanisms. 

Delegates were encouraged to think about what they’d like other people to say about them, how the notion of six degrees of separation could work for them and where to turn should they have a business dilemma that needs expert advice. 

“I didn’t know that the Eventia Summer event was taking place, but, because someone in my network knew that Eventia needed a speaker and was happy to recommend me, I received the business. Make sure your networks work harder for you. Don’t just focus on the badge name, get to know the person and it may surprise you who they know and how their network could benefit your business,” Andy Lopata says. 

Following the seminar, delegates were able to put their newly honed networking skills to the test in a fantastic setting in central London. The RCOG overlooks Regent’s Park and offers an eclectic mix of 20 meeting rooms, which include a purpose built lecture theatre, the traditional Nuffield Hall and the Council Chambers. 

Attendees to Eventia’s Summer Networking were also treated to the launch of the 2012 industry talent competition The Next Big Thing, with a performance from this year’s winner, swing singer Mickey Fordola.

A series of contest heats planned throughout the year will culminate in the final, to be held at International Confex from 6-8 March at ExCeL. 

Andy Lopata’s ‘How to sell through networking referrals’ is on sale at all good bookshops and can be ordered through Amazon.co.uk.
