SANTO DOMINGO– Manuel Ventura, CEO of Social Media Global, the company that organizes the Social Media Talk, said that the event will be an opportunity not only for networking, but that the 2024 edition will become a platform to discuss innovations in the construction sector, including sustainable technologies and digital solutions.
“The participation of leading companies in the sector underscores the relevance and impact of these meetings. We are excited about the opportunity to create a space where industry professionals can share valuable knowledge and experiences,” the marketing expert told El Inmobiliario .
Ventura reported that preparations for the event, which will take place on August 8th at the Hard Rock Café in Punta Cana starting at 7:00 PM, are well underway. He noted a greater level of enthusiasm for the 2024 edition than ever before in the six years he has been organizing the event. “Businesses and the sector in general need these kinds of events, where networking and engaging in conversations with industry professionals is vital in a fun and pleasant atmosphere,” he explained.
The professional said he hopes attendees will enjoy the event, network, and establish many business relationships. "Furthermore, this event will serve as a prelude to a series of construction-related events I'm planning for later this year and throughout 2025," he noted.

Regarding registrations, he noted that 80% of the event's capacity has already been sold. "We'll likely announce a 'sold out' in the final week, just like we did at the previous event. This fills me with joy, as it demonstrates people's appreciation for the love and effort we put into the Social Media Talks," stated Manuel Ventura.
Regarding the timing of the event, he explained that his vision has always been for brands and entrepreneurs to network as a fundamental strategy for building trust, relationships, and sales. “If, as a business owner, you don't know how to sell, network, or meet new people, your business may not achieve its sales goals.”.
He added that the idea has always been to keep the talking on stage to a minimum and prioritize networking. “This strategy has yielded excellent results from day one. Attendees arrive, enjoy live music (saxophone or violin), chat, and connect. We have records showing that over 100 business deals have been finalized in the last three years thanks to connections made at the Social Media Talk.”.
He added that he doesn't believe in events where a speaker talks for four hours without any interaction. “At the Talent Management Social Media Talk” we held in May, the speaker spoke for 20 minutes, and then we had a roundtable discussion where we debated the presentation, shared experiences, and received invaluable feedback. Now, at the construction sector event, I plan to have three networking sessions.
As a new development, it was announced that the Viamar Group has joined the sponsors. “It’s very positive that large companies recognize the importance of platforms like Social Media Talk for connecting with their clients and target audiences in Punta Cana, Bávaro, and Cap Cana.”
This year’s event will be sponsored by El Inmobiliario, Noriega Group, CivilMek, Corazón Mermelada, GCPI (institutional process consultants), APYCA Developers, El Nuevo Diario, Punta Cana Solutions, Manfisa, and the Viamar Group.
