Russ Dantu is a professional speaker and master networker who has learned how to work the room, connect with the right people and close more business than most do with networking.
In the past 10 years, Russ has made over $1.5 million dollars as a direct result of networking…most of that has come from selling small ticket items. In his session “Working the Room – Learn to Network like a Pro” Russ will share 20 networking nuggets to help you take your networking game from average to awesome.

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, including the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.
This land, known as Moh’kinsstis in the Blackfoot language and encompassing what is now Districts 5 and 6, is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.
We recognize and honour the deep connection these Nations have to the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share in its stewardship.
As we continue our work, we commit to learning from Indigenous knowledge systems, uplifting Indigenous voices, and fostering relationships rooted in equity, understanding, and reconciliation.
