SPEED NETWORKING

presented by: Marilyn Feldstein
CEO & Certified Career Coach of
Career Choices Unlimited, Inc.

SPEED NETWORKING,
the corporate equivalent to speed dating
is 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."  

Marilyn Feldstein, one of ASTD's own and CEO and Founder of Career Choices Unlimited, Inc., will give us valuable networking tips before we get underway with the structured portion of the evening.  Afterwards, you'll have plenty of time before going home to talk further with those you want to know better.
   
Countless ASTD members say that one of the main reasons they join ASTD is for making professional contacts.  By fully participating in this meeting, we guarantee you will come away with at least three new and worthwhile contacts.  And our guess is you will follow up with at least one of them in some form or fashion within days after the event. 

Bring your business cards and join us!!
