 A Speed Networking Extravaganza

You’ve heard of speed dating – now get ready for speed networking! Like most chapter members, you probably consider the opportunity to network a key reason to join ASTD. But chapter meetings devoted to other great topics often leave little time for building your network. This month’s meeting is devoted to nothing else! A few lightning activities will focus on the benefits and perils of networking.  Then we’ll launch into a speed networking event that will connect you with an amazing number of other attendees. You’ll leave the meeting with a whole new outlook on networking, and a whole new list of great contacts! Be sure to bring business cards if you have them, or even simple slips of paper with your contact information to share.

You will have plenty of opportunities to network, so bring lots of business cards.
