1. In a speed dating format where all attendees are 100% guaranteed to be matched with each and every table host. The speed dating format has proven to be more effective for service providers in terms of promotional outcomes than the traditional expo-style format.
2. In a virtual format, using zoom video conferencing. Table Hosts have the opportunity to make a 5-6 minute presentation about their service to the online audience. There is the opportunity for the audience to ask specific questions to each provider.
We have participated in two of these unique networking events and have got so much out of the experience. Not only has it helped us make new connections and generate new business, but we have had so much fun connecting doing it. It is one of the quickest and easiest ways to promote your business.
