About the Topic:

 

In today’s interconnected world, strong relationships are the foundation of successful business development. In this session, Carlotta Gmachl will explore how to build, nurture, and sustain meaningful professional relationships across borders, cultures, and markets. Born in Italy and raised in Austria, Carlotta brings a truly international perspective to the topic, shaped by years of working across geographies and cultures. This background has given her a deep understanding of how trust, communication styles, and cultural nuances influence successful global partnerships. Drawing on real-world experience, Carlotta will move beyond theory and focus on practical, actionable tips for effective networking in an international context. From making the right first connection to maintaining long-term partnerships across time zones, participants will gain concrete strategies they can apply immediately in their own work.

 

 

 

The session will also touch on cultural awareness, trust-building, and how to leverage global networks for sustainable business growth. Attendees can expect an engaging discussion, relatable examples, and clear takeaways for strengthening their global business development efforts.
