About this Event
Most networking events work the same way.
You walk into a room full of people, entertain a handful or more conversations, exchange contact information and hope it all pays off.
The Black Book: Speed Networking Mixer is different. You can expect to:
1. Meet more people.
Our speed-networking format keeps the room moving.
2. Have better conversations.
Our networking games get you past the usual "what to you do?" type small talk with icebreakers.
3. Walk into a room that already knows what you’re looking for.
When you register, you’ll complete a confidential profile that gets you in our Black Book of professionals, entrepreneurs and investors.
4. Get guidance on who you should meet.
We suggest people who may be worth connecting with.
