Participants stand up and move around, learning while being entertained. This session is well suited as "end-of-day" or as a "break" in full day conventions.
"Towards the right investor". Strategies, techniques and tools that will help reaching towards the right investor for a new venture. Networking will "open the door" for the entrepreneur to present a great business plan. Participants will learn techniques to get most out of "pitching" events as well as to use at meetings with investors. The "safe environment" simulations give participants the confidence to try the techniques. Some participants will play the role of entrepreneurs while others play the role of investors.
"London Olympics vs. Facebook". Participants will learn face-to-face techniques to network during large international events. Executives need to use online social networking (to prepapre) in combination with face-to-face activities (to execute). This is a very practical keynote that combines theory and practice.
