Resource Needed:
Preparing for Corporate Speed Networking:
- Venue Setup: Arrange chairs in a conducive layout for networking. Consider grouping chairs in pairs or small clusters to facilitate one-on-one conversations. Set up a designated area for registration and check-in, equipped with name tags or badges for participants.
- Networking Zones: Divide the venue into multiple networking zones, each with its own set of chairs and designated networking time slots.- Assign participants to specific zones or allow them to move freely between zones during the event.
- Timer: Use a reliable timer to keep track of networking intervals. Each networking session should last between 3 to 5 minutes to ensure efficient rotation and ample opportunity for interaction.- Display the timer prominently in each networking zone to keep participants informed about the remaining time for each session.
