6. Network
Summer is a great chance to expand your network. This time, instead of bar openings and office bar-b-ques, you’ll get a chance to network throughout a weekend of Pan-African celebrations. The women’s forum on Thursday, the networking mixer on Friday and the closing brunch on Sunday all lend themselves really well to awesome opportunities for networking. But you can also definitely network at your table during the gala night. Either way, with rooms full of passionate individuals from various industries, you want to make sure to bring your A-game and your business cards.
