Networking During the Event:

• Be Approachable: Smile, maintain eye contact, and exude approachability. These simple gestures make it easier for others to strike up conversations with you. Its also a great idea to bring your own coffee, beverage, snacks, and eat before you come to avoid being "hangry".
• Start with Open-Ended Questions: Instead of asking yes-or-no questions, begin conversations with open-ended questions that encourage meaningful discussions. For example, "What brought you to the BLK BIZ SUMMIT?" or "What aspect of your business are you most passionate about?"
• Active Listening: Pay close attention to what others are saying and show genuine interest in their stories. Active listening fosters deeper connections and helps you remember important details for future follow-ups.
• Connect Immediately: We use an app called LINQ to share our contact information. Its much easier than sharing a business card and you get the information of the person you are trying to connect with right in your phone.
