Beginning in the UK and moving our unique brand of events to the States in 2007, we have had the privilege of being featured on more than 20 nationally televised programs highlighting just how extraordinary our participants are. Our unparalleled popularity, a relaxed sensibility to events combined with a less is more approach is what separates us from the rest. Where we felt other companies lacked or overdid, we have redefined. Attracting a professional who doesn't settle and prefers a low key approach to meeting others.

While we believe any networking event that expands your contacts and professional opportunities are invaluable, there are common frustrations with typical networking events. Often times networking events can prove challenging to participants as they are only able to meet a small fraction of those whom attend. Trying to engage multiple networking professionals, declining connections and leaving conversations can be both awkward and uncomfortable. Speed Networking ensures an equal amount of time with all participants, the ability to select whom you would like to connect with and an unfettered one-on-one dialogue. We also believe networking events should be about networking. We do not permit tables of sponsors or companies looking to sell you, up-sell you or hound you to use their product or service. We provide an alternative to those promotional events that are less about networking than they are about the self-serving advancement of their sponsors. We find such sales tactics and offerings detract from what should be the ultimate goal; creating, expanding and nurturing business contacts and relationships.
