Description

Ready to put your Chamber opportunities in motion? Join us for an intentional, fast-paced speed networking event designed to help you make maximum connections in minimal time. Whether you're a seasoned networker or just looking to expand your circle, this event cuts through the small talk and gets straight to the point.

How It Works

• The Setup: Upon signing in, you will be assigned a table and a number to get the rotation started.
• The Clock: The structured speed networking portion runs for about 1 hour and 15 to 20 minutes.
• The Pitch: You will get 3 to 4 minutes with each person. That gives you roughly 90 seconds to 2 minutes to share your story, and the same amount of time to listen to theirs.
• The After-Party: Once the timer stops, the floor opens up. Grab a beer, enjoy the games at Tipsy Pickle, and circle back with the connections you want to get to know better.

Note: While the speed networking is the main focus of the evening, participation is completely optional! If you prefer a slower pace, you are welcome to grab a table and simply hang out.

Pro-Tips for Success

• Prepare your talking points: Don't wing it! Have your top 5 bullet points or notes ready to go.
• Practice makes perfect: You will be introducing yourself quite a few times. Practice your 90-second pitch in front of a mirror or a friend beforehand.
• Bring plenty of business cards: 90 seconds goes by fast. If you don't get to say everything you want, hand off a card to set up a one-on-one for later.
• Pace your pints: Save the beer for the end of the event! You'll be doing a lot of talking, so stick to water to keep your voice fresh until the open networking begins.
