AGCAS Conference: Looking Back

There’s something truly exhilarating about attending an in-person conference—a gathering of like-minded individuals, all eager to learn, share knowledge, and forge new connections. Recently, some of the sfG MentorNet team had the pleasure of attending the AGCAS Annual Conference at Keele University, and it was excellent.

In this blog, we will recap on our experience, highlighting the excitement of meeting existing customers, giving software demonstrations to potential customers, and delving into the world of mentoring programs in different organisations.

Connecting With Customers At AGCAS AC 2023

One of the most delightful aspects of attending a conference is the opportunity to reconnect with existing customers. After months of virtual interactions, it was a fun to finally meet face-to-face. The warmth and enthusiasm displayed by these customers were truly heartwarming. We exchanged stories, shared experiences, and celebrated the successes we had achieved together.

Seeing the impact of our software on their mentoring programmes reaffirmed the value of our work and motivated us to continue delivering exceptional solutions. It was a testament to the strong relationships we had built, and it filled us with immense pride and gratitude.

At the conference, we had the privilege of giving live demonstrations of our software to potential customers. It was invigorating to witness their eagerness to explore and understand how sfG MentorNet could transform their mentoring programmes. The interactive sessions allowed us to delve deeper into their unique challenges and tailor our offerings to meet their specific needs.

The positive feedback and interest generated during these demonstrations were both validating and motivating. It reinforced the belief that our software was making a tangible difference, and we felt proud to be a part of such innovative endeavours.

Learning From Others At AGCAS AC 2023

Conferences provide a remarkable platform to learn about the initiatives undertaken by different organisations, and one that particularly caught our attention was the diverse range of mentoring programmes available.

Engaging with professionals from various industries, we discovered numerous organisations fostering mentorship and career development. We attended some fascinating seminars and workshops, gaining insightful information about how different organisations are focussing on various aspects of career development. The discussions and conversations were enlightening, and we connected with some very experienced professionals who graciously shared their wisdom.

Attending this conference was an enriching experience that left an indelible mark on our sfG MentorNet team who attended. Meeting existing customers reinforced the value of our partnerships, while giving demonstrations to potential customers ignited a sense of purpose and pride in our innovative mentoring platform.
