Having a diverse and vibrant network is increasingly important in today’s changing environment, so at Friday Coffee Meetup’s Speed Networking event, you will have the chance to network with a small group of your #Connect17 colleagues.

This structured networking event will allow you to meet new professional and personal contacts and establish a basis for future collaboration in an exciting format. You will be randomly placed in small groups and each person will have a few minutes to give an overview of their background, their goals, and areas that they might be looking for new connections or ways they can help others.

If you are new to the format of speed networking don’t worry – we’ll have suggestions as to how to start, what to talk about, and how to follow up afterwards.

Wear comfortable shoes (we will be standing) and come prepared with business cards to hand out during the session for follow-ups after!
