Recent SpeedNetworking.com Testimonials
“As a board member of the Young Non-Profit Professionals Network in
Chicago, I partnered with SpeedNetworking.com on a crossover
event between the corporate and non-profit sectors. The event was
flawlessly managed and incredibly well received. I would highly recommend
not only the concept but also the talent and energy of Michael Slater.”
~ Ray Nedohon, Young Non-Profit Professionals
“Michael Slater created the concept of growing your network quickly but with a
continued focus on building quality relationships. It’s difficult to mix
speed and numbers with quality when it comes to building relationships. He continues to innovate
and evolve around it to make it possible. I would recommend SpeedNetworking.com to any organization that wants to help its
constituents interact more and learn how to build relationships.”
~ Michael Tomasello, former president of Purdue University alumni in
Chicago

Why the Speed Networking Craze?
Speed
networking events continue to gain tremendous popularity among chamber of commerce
groups, alumni associations, corporations and private networking groups. Why? It’s simple.
Speed networking events are highly structured business networking events that significantly increase your opportunity to meet business professionals.
Furthermore, your ROI is greatly enhanced as you will be certain to meet a designated number of business professionals.
This increases your odds of making your next deal and finding your next business partner or alliance.
While online networking has unique relationship-building opportunities, it can’t
replace traditional face-to-face networking.
People learn so much about a person just by meeting face to face as opposed to seeing a picture of them online. From the handshake to the eye contact, it all leaves behind certain impressions you can’t obtain online.
Through the use of our advanced technology, we make registration and networking selection
a simple and efficient process that won’t take more than
a few minutes to complete. During this short registration process, you have the unique opportunity to pre-select the industries you wish to network with before attending the event.
