A few tips to get the most from the event:

Come ready to meet people - You’ll have multiple short conversations, so bring your energy and be open to meeting people outside your usual network.

Have your introduction ready - Be prepared to explain who you are, what you do and what kind of connections you’re looking for — keep it short and interesting.

Ask questions - Listen and look for common ground. Networking isn’t just about talking about yourself.

Think collaboration, not selling - The goal is to make genuine connections, rather than try to sell.

Business cards/details - When you meet someone you’d like to stay connected with, exchange contact details.

Arrive on time - There’s a lot happening during the session, so please arrive a little early to check in, get settled and grab a drink.

Cash bar/food - There is a bar and restaurant available to purchase refreshments.

Stay afterwards - Allow time afterwards to continue key conversations

Most importantly, be curious and have fun meeting some great people.

We look forward to seeing you there :)

Meet. Connect. Grow.
