Speed Networking & Mini Business Expo

 
Speed Networking is a networking event with a twist. This energetic and fun format will allow you to create opportunities, meet more people, make more contacts, and generate new business ideas in one short evening!

Speed Networking is about building your contacts and networks effectively and our main focus on the night is you, ensuring you network and meet as many potential contacts as possible at the event.

On the night you'll actively build your database of contacts by spending 5 minutes with each ‘fellow networker' exploring how  you can help each other, introduce each other to potential contacts, partners and

clients. When the 5 minutes are up, you do it all again, growing your network as you go......

We are also very fortunate to also have as our guest speaker, Sacha Crouch from Activ8 Change who will get us started with an address that focuses on how we can free up our time, reduce stress and get better results by following through on the hard stuff - what a great mind set to adopt before you meet your fellow businesswomen!
