Professionals seek practical learning focused on relationships, business development and communication

KWC Global has unveiled the next three keynote sessions for professionals, following strong engagement across the first tranche of events delivered earlier this year.

Each presentation runs for 45 minutes and is exclusively available – live and on-demand – to members of the KWC Global Community, a LinkedIn group which anyone can join.

Across the initial three sessions, 450 business professionals attended live, reinforcing demand for short, practical learning focused on relationships, business development (BD) and communication.

The upcoming BD sessions between May and July will focus on concise, insight-led sessions designed to fit into busy professional diaries:

  • Top Strategies to Develop Your Network for the Long-term – Friday 8 May
  • Staying Front of Mind – Friday 12 June
  • Why Storytelling Matters – Friday 3 July

Matt Wardrop, Head of Business Development at KWC Global, said: “We had more than 3000 registrations for our 2025 sessions and early responses to the current series have confirmed a huge appetite for practical business development skills that go beyond theory.

“These numbers tell a very clear story: professionals want tools they can use immediately, not abstract ideas or over-engineered frameworks.

“The KWC Global Communityallows us to share that thinking consistently, and just as importantly, to connect people who are facing the same challenges.”

The upcoming programme focuses on areas that KWC Global sees as critical to long-term professional success. In May, Top Strategies to Develop Your Network for the long-term explores how to take a more intentional approach to networking – particularly during the busy summer conference and events season.

The session encourages participants to clarify those they need to build relationships with, what they want to be known for, and how to develop a network that supports their entire career.

In June, the Staying Front of Mind session will centre on one of the most underestimated elements of relationship-building: reliability.

From ending conversations with clear actions to following up consistently, this keynote session will break down how strong professional relationships are often built on simple behaviours executed well.

In July, a Why Storytelling Matters session will address a familiar challenge in professional communication: while decisions are driven by emotion and justified by logic, many professionals still rely on dry, information-heavy narratives.

The session will look at how storytelling and visual imagery can create stronger emotional connection and make messages more persuasive and memorable.

From May onwards, access to live sessions, recordings of previous keynotes, and additional insights from KWC Global experts will be available exclusively through the Community.

Members will have the opportunity to connect with 2,000+ professionals across sectors and seniority levels.

Matt added: “The KWC Global Community isn’t just about attending a talk. It’s about ongoing learning, shared experience, and keeping important commercial skills front of mind throughout the year.”
