About this Event

12 Minute Conversations


Forget networking that’s just about collecting business cards. 12 Minute Conversations maximises your networking time and delivers plenty of bang for your buck - not just in who you meet, but in how you can help each other grow.



What is it?

12 Minute Conversations is a dynamic, time-efficient networking event designed for busy Sussex professionals who want more than a handshake and a pitch. Think speed networking meets collaborative problem-solving. It’s structured enough to keep it moving, and flexible enough to spark real rapport.



How it works:
  • You'll meet in small groups for focused, 12-minute conversations.
  • The format is simple: a few minutes each to introduce yourselves and share what you're working on, followed by a few minutes to explore how you can help one another, whether that’s a referral, advice, insight, or simply a shared perspective.
  • It's fast-paced, energising, and designed to leave you with both new contacts and new ideas.



Why it works:
  • Structured conversations. No need for small talk. Our prompts keep things flowing, and we help you move on when it’s time.
  • Efficient and focused. Get to know people quickly, but in more depth than classic speed networking.
  • Mutually beneficial. It’s not just about what you can get. It’s about what you can give, and the stronger relationships that come from helping others.
  • Supportive community. Join a network of professionals who value collaboration, not competition.
  • Variety and reach. Meet lots of different businesses, opening the door for more meaningful follow-ups later.
  • A welcoming, friendly and inclusive environment. Whether you’re a regular, haven’t been in a while, or are trying us out for the first time.

Ready to make better connections in less time, and actually enjoy it? Join us at 12 Minute Conversations and experience networking with purpose.
