Fife Chamber of Commerce’s Post

I can’t wait until Thursday. Why? Because it’s the annual Australian Women's Golf Network - Special Events Wine and Cheese networking event being held at the James Makin Gallery in Collingwood. I already know many of the attendees, a few of whom I haven’t seen in years. But even more excitingly, I’m really looking forward to making new connections. Since the very beginning of my career, networking has been so important. In the bustling world of politics (and before social media), networking was the only way to make vital connections with the media and fellow Ministerial colleagues. These connections were formed over twenty years ago, and I still hold many of them close to this very day. Advancements in technology have dramatically transformed the traditional networking model. Digital platforms like LinkedIn, virtual conferences, and professional social networks have expanded our ability to connect beyond geographical boundaries. We can now participate in global discussions, join specialized groups, and attend webinars without leaving our homes. These tools have made it easier to maintain and strengthen our professional relationships. Networking is not just about exchanging business cards; it’s about creating meaningful relationships that can lead to new opportunities for career and personal growth. Whether it’s finding a mentor, discovering job opportunities, or gaining insights into industry trends, effective networking can be a game-changer. Based on my experience the following are some actionable tips for leveraging networking events and platforms: ⭐ Be Prepared: Research the attendees and speakers beforehand. Have your elevator pitch ready. ⭐ Engage Actively: Don’t just attend; participate. Ask questions, share insights, and connect with others. ⭐ Follow Up: After the event, follow up with the people you met. A quick LinkedIn message or email can solidify the connection. ⭐ Leverage Social Media: Use platforms like LinkedIn to continue the conversation. Share your experiences and insights from the event. ⭐ Attend Regularly: Make networking a regular part of your professional routine. Consistency is key to building lasting relationships. For those keen to action some of these strategies, please consider joining us at the AWGN Annual Wine & Cheese night. 📅 Thursday 18th July ⏰ 5.30pm – 8pm 🌏 James Makin Gallery, Collingwood If this sounds like your kind of evening, booking details are below.

Why It Matters

Ah, the open bar... That magical place where networking fears disappear faster than the top-shelf whiskey. It's the corporate event equivalent of a watering hole in the Serengeti - where different species gather, mingle, and occasionally try to eat each other alive (metaphorically, of course). But here's the thing: What if your entire event could capture that same magnetic pull? What if every aspect of your corporate gathering - from the keynote to the breakout sessions - could elicit the same gleam in your attendees' eyes as that glistening row of spirits? That's our mission. We create events so engaging, so irresistible, that your attendees will be drunk on experience long before they hit the actual bar. While an open bar might be the life of the party, we make sure your event is the soul. #eventprofs #corporate #chooseforesight

🍻 What a fantastic idea! 🍻 Transforming your next event with a pint-pulling session is a brilliant way to make it more interactive and memorable. It’s the perfect opportunity for your delegates to unwind, connect, and spark great conversations after a full day of sessions. Let’s make this happen for your upcoming events! Reach out to Tracey Chappell to discuss the details. 🙌 #EventPlanning #TeamTigers #MakingMemories #EventsAtTigers

Why It Matters:

💥It’s TRUE!!!  Planning a speaking event can be exhausting...especially if you have no idea where to begin. 😅 Why do people want to plan their own speaking event, anyway? 🧐 ➡️Well...have you ever signed up to speak at someone else’s event and it just didn’t meet your criteria when you arrived? Perhaps the audience was smaller than you expected, or your ideal clients weren’t in attendance.  ➡️Or...do you have BIG plans and no one is offering the kind of stage you need?  If either of these scenarios suit you, creating your own stage might be the best option for you! 🎤 There is so much that goes into planning an event, which is why numerous entrepreneurs give up on the idea of running their own event. 👎 📌During Lucrative Live Event we’re going to cover it all! You’ll learn how to ⬇️ ✅Plan your event from beginning to end  ✅Structure ticketing prices that sell  ✅Find sponsors that speak to your event  ✅Market your event to your ideal audience  ✅Discover venues that suit your unique needs  ✅So much more!
