Join the Kearney Chamber and Kearney Business Group to meet local business leaders and expand your network with meaningful connections.This is a fast-paced, fun way to make multiple contacts in a short amount of time. How does it work? You speak for a minute, listen for a minute, exchange cards, and then move on to the next person. It's that simple!A speed networking event gives a person access to numerous individuals in different fields. Professionals easily exchange contact information during these events and sometimes set up future meetings as well...like lunch after the event. This opens doors to potential growth opportunities and valuable partnerships. Since all the participants are attending the event for the sole purpose of making connections, there is no need for small talk. Space is limited. Registration is Required. Registration deadline is Wednesday, March 26.
Tips for Participating in Speed Networking Events 1) Have an Elevator Speech Ready: Prepare a short elevator speech summarizing the key elements of your work and educational history. Practice articulating this information smoothly and succinctly within the timeframe of the event. Since speed networking is a two-way process, it is essential to listen carefully to each of your partners. 2) Bring Business Cards: Business cards are often exchanged during speed networking events, and participants who hit it off can seek further opportunities for a one-on-one exchange. This might take place at lunch following the speed networking event or on another day over coffee. |
