The Speed Show: Grow your business, Grow your contacts
‘The Speed Show’ is a presentation and speed networking event combined. We have 5 positions available for those who wish to give a 2 minute presentation on their business or services. The lucky contenders will be chosen by lottery after placing an expression of interest.
The evening will commence with 5 x 2 minute presentations and then flow into a more traditional speed networking event.
Speed networking is an energetic means of rapidly networking with a large number of people. It’s networking with a twist, making the whole process more entertaining and far more comfortable than entering a room and trying to ‘work it’. The mechanism ensures that attendees can promote their businesses on a one-on-one basis to a number of other business people in a short space of time.
Date: Tuesday 21st February
Time: 7pm
Venue: Dungarvan Enterprise Centre, Lower Main Street, Dungarvan
