Speed Networking - 2024
Connect with your Network
We had such an amazing time last year, that we decided to keep the fun going! Join us for a fabulous evening where you can connect with old friends and meet new colleagues. We can help you get a LOT done in two short hours!
Bring your business cards and your "elevator pitch" and let us do the rest!
How it Works
We will have tables set up and clear instructions on what to do for each timed networking segment. When the bell rings, you move to the next table! It's as easy as that! We guarantee (well...almost!!) that you won't meet the same person twice!
Once you have registered we will send you specific information about how to prepare and a few tips & tricks on how to make the most of a Speed Networking event. Don't worry - we have you covered.
Use the last half hour to connect with those you would like to make a stronger connection and enjoy food and drinks while you further connections.Want to be a Sponsor?
Be a Table Sponsor and get your name and brand in front of the entire business community in the pre & post event marketing as well as on the night of the event!

- feature placement of your name and logo on the speed networking table
