The Unwritten Rules of Networking in Spain

The Unwritten Rules of Networking in Spain ☕✨

Networking in Spain can feel warm, friendly... and sometimes completely confusing.

You have a great coffee chat, the conversation flows, you hear "Let's stay in touch"... and then nothing happens. Was it just politeness? Was it a genuine professional connection? Should you follow up again? And how do cultural differences shape the way we build trust, opportunities, and community?

Join Latinas in Tech Spain and Madrid Digital Network for a relaxed summer brunch exploring "The Unwritten Rules of Networking in Spain."

This is not a traditional panel discussion—it's a single-table conversation designed to be honest, practical, and human. We'll kick off with real-life networking stories from members of both communities, sharing the funny, awkward, and relatable moments we've all experienced while building careers in Spain.

Together, we'll explore how networking works across cultures—from Spain and Latin America to Ukraine and beyond. We'll discuss coffee chats, LinkedIn follow-ups, professional etiquette, relationship-building, and the subtle differences between being friendly and creating meaningful professional opportunities.
