SPEED NETWORKINGpresented by: Marilyn FeldsteinCEO & Certified Career Coach of Career Choices Unlimited, Inc.
SPEED NETWORKING, the corporate equivalent to speed datingis one of the fastest growing forms of structured networking. According to Wikipedia, "speed dating" is a formalized matchmaking process whose purpose is to encourage people to meet a large number of new people. At ASTD, this is our purpose as well....corporate style, of course! Here's how it works: professionals move methodically from one station to the next, round robin style, introducing themselves quickly and spending just a few minutes getting acquainted. You don't have time to conduct in-depth conversations, but you know who you want to know better. You identify who to seek out, whether it be immediately after the formal networking or with a follow-up call or email.
An article in The New York Times describes speed networking events as exciting and full of energy. "There's always an incredible buzz in the room."
