Q. I have never been networking before, can someone help me?
A. Firstly you can download our free networking ebook by signing up to our mailing list. This will help you to get the very most out of networking. At each event we are on hand to help you and to introduce you to people you want to meet. You can also contact us at any time with any questions or queries you may have.
Q. Can I find out who is attending in advance?
A. Of course. On the events page there is a list of people who have already booked in. 1-2 days before the event we send out a list of delegates too so you can plan who you wish to speak with.
Q. What are the "Attendee-Only" offers?
A. We allow people who attend to make an offer to the rest of the group. This offer is made at the time of booking. After the event we send out an email with a password so you can access the page. All the offers are exclusive to Brookfield Networking attendees. Please note that if you place an offer and do not attend the event, your offer will not appear on our website.
Q. What happens at the events?
A. We provide you with a name tag and you can help yourself to free refreshments throughout the course of the event. We will then call people’s attention and give a brief introduction. You also receive a delegate pack that includes information about the event and a list of delegates. You then have 2 hours to network with everyone in the room. You are free to come and go as you please during this time.
Q. Do I have to do provide a speech?
A. No this is not required. If each delgate gave even a small speech/intro, there wouldn't be any time to network. Instead we send out a list of delegates in advance of the event so you know who will be attending.
Q. Is there any pressure to buy from other attendees?
A. No. If at any time you feel like you are being pressured in any way by any attendee, simply inform one of the organisers.
Q. What do I need to bring with me?
A. All you need is your business cards, note papers, pens and any promotional materials you may have. Our ebook contains further information regarding this.
Q. What is contained within the delegate packs?
A. The pack will include some information about the event, a list of delegates and also some promotional materials from our sponsors.
