Professionals collaborating in a team building networking activity, engaging in problem-solving challenges and forming meaningful business connections through shared experience.

Networking is a necessity for individuals and businesses. Research shows the value of building professional networks. Among other things, networking leads to business opportunities, knowledge sharing and innovation. Some people love to network while others find it a chore. It is possible to shift your mindset so that networking is viewed as an opportunity to discover and learn instead of a task that must be done. One step in this process is doing some homework before you meet the person in order to find common interests. This will make the networking experience more enjoyable and lead to better relationships.

Research shows that long lasting connections are created through structured activities and shared experience rather than casual interactions. Catalyst teambuilding program Quickfire is well suited to conference networking. Through completing a series of mental, physical or active challenges as individuals or groups towards a team score people’s abilities and personality traits naturally come to the fore.
