Networking

In the world we live in, connection is everything.  It is what makes the world a global village. In this 21st Century, the success of your business is a product of your ability to harness your network and convert it into opportunities. At the Connect Nigeria Business Fair, you will have the opportunity to make significant connections that can lead to fruitful business opportunities.

At the Master Class, the Business Conference and the Club Connect lounge, attendees will have the opportunity to meet with people in their industry, and even outside their field of interest.  They’ll be able to connect with new customers, potential mentors, advisors and business partners. Let me quickly add that with hundreds and thousands of participants in attendance, the smart attendee should aim to create a lasting impression in the mind of a potential mentor or advisor. The trick is to sell yourself and your market in a way that will make you unforgettable.

Professional Development

The fact remains, as Arese Ugwu puts it, that even though not everyone is an entrepreneur, we are all called to be entrepreneurial in our thinking. That way, we can add value wherever we are. So, even if you’re not an entrepreneur, the Connect Nigeria Business Fair can still help you and your career.

This year, the organizers of Africa’s Biggest Business Fair have contracted globally acclaimed industry giants to teach attendees how to start and grow their businesses, build strong business networks, improve their soft skills and develop new ones. This will motivate them to embrace innovation and continuous development.

What is more, while networking, attendees may see new possibilities for growth in their industry; they may get insider information on job openings and be able to make educated decisions career-wise.  

Inspiration 

So you’re not yet an entrepreneur but you have a vision and you’re wondering how business fairs such as this can help you. Well, wonder no further. At the Connect Nigeria Business Fair, you’ll meet, greet and exchange ideas with exhibitors, fellow attendees and industry experts who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences with you. Who knows, rubbing minds with like-minded professionals may just be the incentive you need to take that dream to the next level.

Visibility

As an entrepreneur, paying for a booth at the Business Fair guarantees visibility for your business. The branded booth, the product exhibition, advertisement on the event website will announce your products and services to a larger audience. Even the Connect Nigeria media partners are strategically positioned to serve you better. They will amplify your brand and broaden your reach.

Fun

You know what they say about all work and no play. Well, after the lectures, the raffle draw at the Connect Nigeria Business Fair offers attendees the perfect opportunity to unwind. There are a lot of exciting gifts to be won.

In conclusion, the Business Fair is what you make of it.  If you attend with a passive mindset, you’ll most likely leave without achieving anything. But, if, on the other hand, you attend with an active mindset, you’ll be in the right frame of mind to exploit the opportunity.
