You'll rotate through structured conversations, designed to be short, snappy, and surprisingly effective. It's like dating, but for your career—minus the awkward silences and weird bios.

What Is Speed Networking?

Let’s be honest—networking can be awkward. But what if it wasn’t? What if it felt more like happy hour with a purpose? Speed networking is like speed dating for your business or organization. You’ll rotate through a series of quick, one-on-one conversations, meeting someone new every few minutes. When the bell rings, you move on to your next partner. By the end of the event, you’ll have more valuable connections than you ever thought possible!
