Make new connections within the art community at this lightning-fast networking event.

Santa Fe Community Convention Center

We all know the vibe: you walk around at a gallery opening, only chatting with the people you already know, wondering, who are all of these other people? Well, come to Speed Networking, make new connections within the art community at this lightning-fast event, and you'll be seeing more familiar faces around town.If you’ve never speed-networked before, it’ll go something like this:<ul><li>You’ll have five minutes of one-on-one conversation, and we’ll rotate seats twelve times, so you’ll walk away with twelve new connections.</li><li>We recommend bringing business cards, postcards, or a notebook to jot down contact info.</li><li>And in addition to your "elevator pitch," consider sharing one thing you are looking for help with or would advance your work (such as a resource, skill, or connection), and one thing you can offer.</li></ul>We promise big fun will be had by all!Doors open at 6 pm, and we'll begin networking at 6:30 pm. Light refreshments will be available.This event is limited to 100 participants. Free with registration thanks to support from the City of Santa Fe Arts and Culture Department.
