Trade Nigeria: Abuja Business Round-Table

 

The Abuja Business Round-Table is an annual event that constitutes the sitting of business minds, individuals, trade organizations, government officials, policy makers and stakeholders in business to review, debate and deliberate issues, laws or policies that will expand business opportunities and promote the growth and development of Nigeria Economy.

The Business Round table will also educate business people on the nitty-gritty of doing business both domestic and international, thus, giving participants competitive advantage over their business counterpart.   

There is power in being connected to other people who are active in your line of business, but it can also be easy to talk yourself into committing to an annual business meeting year after year.  Many people think that having or owing a business is enough, but to capitalize on the return on your investment you need to be engaged and participate actively in business meetings, conferences and business workshop seminars.

Many Entrepreneurs, Small business owners and Traders are busy, so the thought of taking a few hours or days away from their business to participate in a conference, trade show, convention or seminar can seem like a waste of time.  However, these live meetings might be just what you need to uncover new ways to growing your business.

Many think that being around competitors can be a waste of time, or worse; a chance for others to steal their ideas.  But not everyone in your business is actually a competitor, as many can be allies and friends.  The mindset you choose about participating in events will reflect on your results.

Many falsely believe that since they can now access business information via the Internet that the days of the live meeting are gone.  The truth is, meetings are more important than ever.  The value in meetings comes from the human-to-human connections that occur.  Often people cite the serendipitous “hallway conversations” that they have with other attendees as the most valuable parts of attending a business meeting or business event.  While these are not on the agenda, or mentioned in the breakout sessions learning objectives, when two or more people begin to discuss topics on a deeper and personal level, the success of the event to those involved becomes irreplaceable.  It is the people that bring the return on investment (ROI) to your time at the event.

The Abuja Business Round Table is an annual event that is powered by Trade Nigeria in conjunction with Globe Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
