Connections Week 2025: Networking - how to build genuine connections

Connections Week 2025: Networking - how to build genuine connections

Engaging with people is at the heart of what we do at Agri-TechE. We know how empowering it is to network in a way that builds genuine connections. We also know how important it is to make the most of your time at events. So how do you do it?

Together with our panel of speakers, we will share tips and experiences gathered over the years, so that you too, feel empowered the next time you are at an event.

In this online event we will cover:

  • Doing your research
  • Reading the room and moving from one conversation to the next
  • Exchanging details: is the business card dead?
  • Following up

To inspire you, revisit some of our past blogs on how to network:
