What is Speed Networking? Speed networking is a structured and fast-paced event designed to help professionals meet many new contacts in a short time. Similar to speed dating, participants have a few minutes to introduce themselves, share what they do, and exchange contact information before moving on to the next person. It’s a great way to build connections quickly and effectively! Timeline for a Speed Networking Event (4:30 PM - 6:30 PM) 🕓 4:30 - 4:45 PM | Registration & Welcome Check-in and grab a name tag.
