Speed Networking: Referral Exchange for Business & Career
About this Event
Where connection becomes opportunity — and your network becomes your greatest asset.
This high‑energy IWB session brings together Networking, Sales, and Marketing in one powerful space where businesses grow, careers accelerate, and newcomers discover real pathways to success.
Created especially for immigrants, newcomers, and young women, this event helps you strengthen your voice, expand your opportunities, and introduce yourself with clarity and confidence.
A Call to All Business Leaders
To keep our community strong and thriving, business leaders are expected to bring referrals — clients, collaborators, job leads, or opportunities that can help someone else rise.
Your contribution fuels the ecosystem of support that makes IWB unstoppable.
What You’ll Gain
This session is designed to help you:
- Get jobs and career opportunities
- Attract customers and clients
- Find business partners
- Connect with mentors
- Build real friendships and community
In just 60 seconds, you’ll practice sharing who you are, what you do, the challenges you face, and the opportunities you’re seeking — all within a safe, supportive, multicultural environment that celebrates your story.
More Than Networking — It’s Empowerment
This is where doors open, confidence rises, and your courage becomes visible.
You’ll learn how to:
- Ask for help
- Offer support to others
- Build meaningful engagement
- Strengthen your visibility and leadership
- Discover how IWB can champion your journey forward
You’ll also explore allyship — how to uplift one another, advocate for equity, and foster a deep sense of belonging in your community.
Whether you’re looking for clients, collaborators, mentors, or simply a place where you feel seen and valued — this is your moment to shine.
