Expand your network and make new contacts and get more value out of your Chamber Membership at our first ever Speed networking event!
Inspired by Speed dating, Speed networking is an interactive meeting that is designed for our members who are interested in increasing their word-of-mouth referrals & marketing. Structured and fast paced, Speed networking allows participants to interact with other professionals one-on-one, for a set period of time. Participants can walk away with more new contacts in one evening than some make in 6 months!
Speed networking requires little preparation. You will have approximately 3 minutes to speak with each attendee before you move onto the next. Be sure to come prepared with plenty of business cards and your elevator speech.
