Networking is an integral aspect of fostering meaningful connections within the professional realm, yet it can often seem daunting.

Our Emerging Leader cohort had the opportunity to hear from networking extraordinaire Paul Kitching (aka PK), Development Manager from our Platinum member Fuller Brand Communication, who offered invaluable insights into mastering the art of networking.

PK spoke about the importance of a personal brand, how to develop a memorable elevator pitch, connecting on LinkedIn the right way, and approaching networking with a seriously mindset, understanding that you are an extension of the organisation you are representing at all times. Networking isn’t about selling something, it’s about relationship-building and being remembered for the right reasons.

Guests had the opportunity to not only absorb PK’s wisdom but also put what they heard into action.

Our Emerging Leaders program, in partnership with the University of Adelaide, brings together future leaders and changemakers (under 40) within our member companies at a series of events and networking opportunities hosted throughout the year. Attendees will build their network, gain insights and knowledge to enhance their professional development and hear first-hand from accomplished and inspiring leaders from a range of sectors.

We would like to thank our Wine Partner Seppeltsfield, Beer Partner Coopers, and Non-alcoholic beverage partner POLKA for their support in delivering this event.
