The American Way of Networking

At the Second Networking Evening of the Fulda Networks (a gathering of regional business people), our Deputy Managing Director, Viktoria Thur, founder of Mues-Tec, delivered an insight into the “American Way of Networking” during her keynote speech last Monday evening at the Parkhotel Kolpinghaus Fulda. According to Ms. Thur, Americans, in general, are more relaxed in meeting new acquaintances and do not have the typically German “critical look.” Instead, they tend to exhibit open body language combined with an inviting and friendly smile.

In accordance with Fulda tradition, Ms. Thur was presented with a Fulda backpack as a token of appreciation by Mr. Christoph Burkhard, Managing Director of Region Fulda Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft mbH (www.region-fulda.de).

Following this, various networks introduced themselves through elevator speeches, and networking continued into the late hours.

“Over 100 guests, network partners, and the charming guest speaker Viktoria Thur made the evening a successful event.”
