When GDN was launched in November 2023, our goal was to dedicate the first 12 months to establishing a solid base of members, not just in the UK and USA but worldwide.
In our first year, we've exceeded our expectations, boasting 400+ members from 60+ countries, with new companies joining daily.
Due to the impressive and expanding global reach of GDN, we are hosting our second Virtual Networking Week from 2-6 December 2024.
Building rapport and establishing trust is much easier face-to-face rather than via emails or phone calls, leading to more open and collaborative conversations, which are essential for developing successful partnerships.
GDN virtual events ensure that all members can participate without the constraints of travel and time away from the office.
Our bespoke P2P Meeting Manager allows members to schedule 30-minute business meetings with companies of their choice ahead of the event.
Here is how ...
The system is all-encompassing and automatically accounts for time zones, ensuring that participants are fully prepared with all the relevant information, including which platform they prefer (Skype, Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, WhatsApp, etc).
Virtual meetings have changed how we connect, making things way more flexible and convenient.
As GDN continues to grow, everyone can join in, no matter where they are. With features like screen sharing and other interactive tools, virtual meetings keep everyone engaged, making them super useful in today’s world.
