Networking in the Digital Age

When you ask people about their networking experience, you will always hear one of two stories. Some claim that it unlocked opportunities they couldn’t imagine while others recall it being a daunting experience.

They’re both not wrong.?

If you imagine a networking event- chances are you are thinking about a room bursting with professionals eagerly exchanging contacts and conversing, while others hesitantly looking around for a conversation starter.?

Though networking's essence remains rooted in meaningful connections, the methods have taken a leap. In our tech-driven era, where screens replace rooms and clicks replace handshakes, the way networkers build meaningful connections has changed.?

Why Networking Matters Now More Than Ever

The heart of the business world thrives on connections. Whether it’s the tech industry, finance, or legal. Studies suggest that a whopping 85% of business opportunities arise from networking, relationship building, and introductions.?

But there's a twist: To network fruitfully, you have to network with the right people. Traditional networking methods can be daunting, and finding that perfect match, whether a business partner, investor, or client, can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. So what can you do?

Think Big, Go Small

With increasing remote work culture and global collaboration, networking has transformed from confined rooms to boundless virtual spaces. You can now connect with more people than ever before. But how can you find meaningful connections in this vast sea of people?

It’s time to move away from networking events with 1000+ attendees. The superconnectors of today are turning to private meetups. As the number of meaningless interactions increase, the value of intimate connections becomes the means for forging meaningful connections.?

The current trend is moving toward more intimate settings that offer tailored experiences. Networking in smaller settings often results in deeper, more meaningful conversations and connections.

Can I Host My Own Meetups?

Anyone can host a meetup (Even you can-within minutes. Read more to see how ??)

Simply find six people who work in ABC industry and are interested in XYZ. Put them in a room together- serve up some dinner and drinks. Then just sit back and see the magic of human connection (and wine) at play.?

Ok- maybe it’s not that easy. You still have to invite people, text them the details on WhatsApp, Telegram or LinkedIn and send them reminders before the event. You must be wondering- that sounds like it could take a while.?

Time for our secret sauce: You can now host, invite and remind- all within minutes!?
