Networking Events: How networking can dramatically improve business growth.

Starting a business in a new country can be challenging! This is why networking events are so valuable in any phase of business growth that you find yourself in.

You may experience times when you feel very alone, unsupported and find it difficult to know what to do and how to get started. That is why at “The Latin Directory” we believe that when we unite, we are stronger.

On May 23, 2023 we had the great privilege of attending the Queensland Parliamentary Friends of Latin America and Hola Networking Business Expo 2023, at Parliament House in Brisbane, Queensland.

The event was full of life, fun, enthusiasm, and lots of new connections. It was an unforgettable experience for all who attended and it undoubtedly added great value to the Latin Community in Australia to increase trade between the two continents and beyond.

Hola Networking was founded in 2015 and its purpose is connecting entrepreneurs, businesses, and like-minded professionals from Latin America and Australia, where all the cultures are welcome.

Some of the main focus of Hola Networking events are to generate new business opportunities, expand professional networks and provide new employment opportunities which is quite enriching for all Latin immigrants. Its Founder, Sebastian Toro along with his family are recognized for their great service to the community and service to others.

Seeing how ministers, governors, ambassadors, business owners and the Latin community in general were supporting this initiative was inspiring but the most important thing was to see the synergy and collaboration.

During the event, The Latin Directory was able to sponsor the live stream of the event and record some interviews with some of the stall holders. Some of the key takeaways were as follows:

If you lack a little motivation to start or scale your business to another level, we encourage you to keep an eye out for networking opportunities like this event.

Below are the interviews that we did throughout the evening. We hope they inspire you to continue with the legacy that you are called to leave in Australia.
