19 Oct 2009 Mixing networking with speed dating

Over the past year businesses have been forced to become a lot more savvy in order to survive, a major part of this is forming strong alliances with mutually beneficial partners, both new and old.

Its interesting to see how this theory has revolutionised current networking strategies... an article was published this week on the ‘Venues and Destinations Summit’, due to take place on the 3rd November in London. They have taken an interesting stance on this idea and introduced a ‘speed dating’-type event for event organisers and Venues. Attendees from both sides will attend a series of one-on-one, pre-arranged meetings, which will be timed as to use time as efficiently as possible.

The organisers claim over 1,000 meetings will take place throughout the day and their advice for anyone attending is ‘be prepared’!! We think that any way to build Rapport, be it a short-lived commodity or idea which grows and expands to lead the way in the future, should be approached with an open mind!
