Speed Networking with the Waterford County Enterprise Board

When; September 28, 2010

Time; 6.45 registration. 7pm SHARP start.

Where; Lawlors Hotel Dungarvan Speed networking is an energetic means of rapidly networking with a large number of people. It’s networking with a twist, making the whole process more entertaining and far more comfortable than entering a room and trying to ‘work it’. The mechanism ensures that attendees can promote their businesses on a one-on-one basis to a number of other business people in a short space of time.

The format is quite simple; everyone who attends is seated opposite another business person, each person then gets two minutes to speak about their business. When both parties have spoken, the line moves on and each person is now speaking to someone new. The methodology is proven, speed networking events happen every night around Ireland. Booking is essential, we are limited by capacity. This will be offered on a first come first served basis.
