HOW WE HELP

GSNA  creates opportunities for you to CONNECT with the right people and begin to CULTIVATE relationships, which will ultimately lead to your SUCCESS.
Through our proven structured networking models, GSNA events offer an alternative networking experience to the traditional formats of social networking, trade shows and community events. With the demands placed on professionals today, limited time exists to attend trade shows, seminars and other industry gatherings.  Travel time and cost further hinder accessibility to such functions.
GSNA  offers 90-minute, local events during breakfast, lunch or after hours to fit conveniently into your schedule, at a fraction of the cost.  The ROI, measured in new and relevant contacts, is far superior with GSNA Business Network. GSNA  networking opportunities are TARGETED and STRUCTURED by design.

TARGETED
GSNA  Business Network constructs events around an Industry Cluster framework.  Clusters are defined as business sectors/segments within a given marketplace or industry whose interaction fosters a potential relationship such as referrals, partnerships, collaborations, or strategic alliances.  Attendees are targeted based on industry relationships, collaboration and referral opportunities. TARGETED groups ensure that each interaction is relevant and mutually beneficial.  GSNA partners with a variety of associations & professional organizations acting often as facilitator to engage and involve various industry segments which should interact but rarely have a targeted forum to do so.  GSNA  actively secures ongoing feedback from companies, participants and trade associations to define these clusters.

Examples of industry Clusters:

STRUCTURED
GSNA  offers more effective and focused events through our innovative methods to facilitate STRUCTURED networking interactions. At GSNA  events participants actually engage in a series of short and meaningful one-on-one conversations.  Relationships begin with being able to sit across a table and have a dialogue with others. GSNSA makes sure you meet the right people to forge win-win relationships.  Bottom line...  our events are effective and deliver results.

We design each interaction to be structured and outcome driven. Every opportunity is STIMULATING and FOCUSED, while remaining FUN and ENGAGING.

Convention and Trade Shows
Networking serves as a cornerstone of every trade show, convention or association meeting. Incorporating meaningful networking opportunities is a true challenge for gatherings of such large size and scope.  Further limiting is that often these events are organized by volunteers and thus typically adhere to the same format without much innovation.   GSNA  Business Network specializes in working with organizations across a spectrum of industries to infuse creative and effective networking elements into their existing events/programs.  Utilizing our expertise and creativity, GSNA  will institute a networking program which your attendees will rave about.
In particular GSNA understands the need for sponsors of such meetings to derive substantial value from their investment and we design programs to directly maximize their involvement and interaction among the attendees.

Whether a breakout session, after hours mixer, or golf outing, your attendees will experience networking like never before.  We infuse structure into every interaction to ensure positive outcomes. Every networking program is STIMULATING and FOCUSED, while remaining FUN and ENGAGING.

Examples of past programs: 
Breakout Sessions        Social Events
Coffee Breaks                 Golf Outings
Team Building Activities
Networking Training       Peer Networking
 
Add new networking elements to your next convention and maximize the benefit to your members

Customise Events

Leaders recognize the value and importance of networking to the overall health and success of their organization. They expect their professionals to network.  Few companies and associations have successfully implemented internally and in most cases progress is hindered due to lack of time, personnel and contacts. 

GSNA  Business Network partners with organizations to infuse networking initiatives with the necessary elements for success.  We provide:
Training and skill development      
Dedicated time and focus 
Experience and expertise  
Broad-spectrum of relationships
Expertise in structured networking   
Organizing networking opportunities is not the focus nor core competency of most businesses, but, for GSNA  Business Network, NETWORKING is our business.
