Speed Networking - February Southside

We are still hosting our holiday lunch Dec. 7th at 12:30. We ask all past sponsors to please come early at 12 noon for a quick 2023 planning session/review.

Going forward, all meetings on the Peninsula side will be the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

12:30PM Registration and DON'T FORGET to bring business cards and be ready to connect on any social media you have.

We will have a few treats to snack on & 1 drink is included with each ticket also.

1:00 ICEBREAKER: A ROUND OF SPEED NETWORKING - Think of speed dating, same concept, this is to encourage you to identify who you need to spend more time with. We mix this up every month to keep it interesting. Be prepared to introduce yourself and speak 1minute to answer questions related to marketing, goals, questions about owning your own business or even a person/fun experience. We want to get to know you & about your business. If you ever attended a Toastmasters Meeting, you know exactly how this goes and yes, we will vote for the best presentation/answer and give a prize!

? This gets us thinking on our feet, people really listening and us learning about you.

Space is limited, we are asking as a courtesy, that no more than 2 person from each company to attend events to allow a variety of businesses to participate and help each other grow.

2:00 we get ready to head out and get to work or we encourage you to stay & have lunch if you aren’t full from appetizers or order a bother drink with those you connected with at the meeting. Spend some time building your relationships with other businesses.

Goals:

-To Make Real Connections, not just get someone's business card to add to a mass mailing.-Identify if there are any immediate business connections where you can help each other-Help build new spheres of business leaders that can help each other grow their business, find accountability partners or share experiences to create more business & success in Hampton Roads.

There is a $10 fee to participate for this event and YOU MUST REGISTER to hold your spot. We need to know who is showing up & committed. Seating will be limited each month since we are working on real connections and we will alternate SPEED NETWORKING events from SOUTHSIDE to PENINSULA each month. Practice your 1 minute pocket speech to let people know what you do best!

All VIP sponsors must be confirmed prior to ticket purchase and more details are listed under that ticket info.
