Business Small Talk
A workshop offered by the Bonn Graduate Center
Sometimes the most important thing at a conference is the breaks - at least as far as
networking and career development for young scientists are concerned. lf you are good at small talk, you can easily get into conversation with strangers in a relaxed way. Small talk is the first step to making new contacts. For all those who do not feel like born small talkers, there is good news: small talk can be learned - and this workshop will show you how.
