#### Visibility is nice, but trust builds businesses. Public relations is not just press releases, media coverage, or getting quoted in an article. At its core, PR is about building credibility, trust, reputation, and goodwill with the people who matter most to your business. In this session, Eleni Gates will explain how branding, marketing, PR, and networking work together, and how entrepreneurs can use intentional relationships to create visibility, referrals, partnerships, and long-term growth.

STOP Networking the Wrong Way! Get more ROI from your efforts.

#### Signature Event: STOP Networking the Wrong Way with Melissa Taylor
Most networking advice is wrong — here’s why 90% of the people at your last event will never do business with you or refer you (and what to do about it).
Sound familiar? You show up, hand out business cards, have some nice conversations… and then nothing happens. No follow-up, no referrals, no new clients. Just another event that ate up your precious time.
It’s time to fix that.
Join us for a session that flips the script on everything you thought you knew about networking. You’ll learn:
- Why “more events” isn’t the answer — the real reason most networking efforts produce zero ROI, and what to focus on instead
- The types of groups that actually work — how to tell referral groups, industry associations, mixers, and online communities apart, and which ones are right for you
- What makes an introduction land — not the polished elevator pitch you’ve been taught, but what actually gets remembered
- The follow-up 90% of people skip — and why it’s the single biggest driver of ROI
Whether you’re tired of walking away empty-handed or just want to make every event count, this session will give you a practical, no-fluff framework to finally see a return on your networking time.
Stop collecting business cards. Start building your ROI.
