1. What is speed networking with Women in Business?

Answer: Speed networking is a structured networking event where Women in Business have short, timed conversations with several different people. When the time is up, participants rotate and meet someone new.

2. How long does each conversation usually last?

Answer: Conversations typically last 4–5 minutes, although the exact time depends on the event. The goal is to quickly introduce yourself, learn about the other person, and identify possible ways to connect.

3. What should I talk about during speed networking?

Answer: Start with who you are, what you do, and what you're looking for. Ask the other person about their business, career, interests, or goals. Focus on things you have in common and opportunities to help each other.

4. Do I need to bring business cards?

Answer: Bring 40 to 50 Business cards. You can also exchange contact information digitally through LinkedIn, email, or another professional networking platform.

5. What should I wear to a speed networking event?

Answer: Dress Business Casual for the event.  Looking polished and feeling comfortable can help you feel more confident.

6. What if I'm nervous or don't know what to say?

Answer: That's completely normal. Prepare a 30-second introduction about yourself before the event (See the Video in the registration page). You can also have a few questions ready, such as:

• “What do you do?”
• “What brought you to this event?”
• “What kind of connections are you hoping to make?”
• “How can I support your business?”

7. What should I do after the event?

Answer: Follow up with the people you'd like to stay connected with. Send a short message within a day or two, mention something you discussed, and connect on LinkedIn or another professional platform. The follow-up is often where the real networking begins.
