Bestselling author and business networking expert Stefan Thomas is set to take the stage as a keynote speaker at the gdb Diamond Experts Conference 2025.
Organised by Gatwick Diamond Business (gdb), the conference, now in its fourth year, brings together professionals from across the region for a dynamic day of learning, networking, and connection, showcasing the strength and innovation of the local business community.
“I’m really excited to be part of this event,” said Stefan. “I’ve done many events with Gatwick Diamond Business over the years, and they’re always brilliant, packed with energy, fantastic people and real opportunities to connect. If you want to meet great businesses from the region and beyond, this is the place to be.”
Stefan, who is widely known for his practical insight and down-to-earth delivery, will present a keynote titled "Conversations aren't soft skills, they're revenue channels." In this session, he will explore how everyday conversations can become consistent sources of enquiries, referrals and new clients.
Stefan's first book 'Business Networking For Dummies' was published over a decade ago. He went on to write 'Win The Room' with co-author Wes Linden and 'Instant Networking'. He is currently writing his fourth book.
“I’ll be sharing strategies on how to start the right conversations, how to recognise when someone is ready to buy, and how to convert those interactions into real business. It’s about turning networking from something people feel they ‘should do’ into something that actually delivers results.”
Stefan’s expertise has been sought by major organisations including BT, Lloyds Bank and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. His approach helps business owners and professionals become more confident networkers, without needing to be pushy or overly sales-focused.
The gdb Diamond Experts Conference runs from 8:15am to 2:30pm, featuring expert-led talks, trade stands and valuable opportunities to build meaningful business connections, all set within the inspirational surroundings of Roffey Park Institute in Horsham.
Other keynote speakers include Matt Garman, who will share his unconventional approaches to leadership, and Paul Levy, who will explore how generative AI can support creativity and efficiency in business.
The event takes place on Friday 20th June.
