Business speed networking allows you to meet as many people as possible in the shortest period of time and with minimum fuss. Events are structured and with only a few minutes with each contact you’ll be talking business only, meaning that you waste no time in getting to the point.

After a short time of open networking, you will be seated in groups with companies that you'd like to meet. We will have a "who's in the room" time, where you'll have about 30 seconds to say who you are and what you do. Over food you'll be able to spend an extended time talking with the other people on your table.
