The SFA, in partnership with Vodafone, is delighted to host FREE Speed-Networking events, which will provide attendees with an amazing opportunity to have a series of 3-minute one-on-one meetings with a wide variety of companies, to begin to build new business contacts.

The first Speed-Networking Event of this season will be held in the Limerick Strand Hotel, Ennis Road, Limerick on Thursday, 28 January from 6:00pm to 8:30pm.

Speed-Networking allows people to discover in a very short space of time, common areas of interest, which can act as a basis for developing ongoing business relationships, be it finding new clients, accessing new audiences or meeting strategic business partners.

The facilitated Speed-Networking session will last for 1 hour, guaranteeing you 20 new business contacts and will be immediately followed by refreshments and the opportunity to follow-up with those contacts that are serious prospects or to meet more participants in an informal setting.

Event schedule

• 6pm: Registration
• 6:30pm - 7:30pm: Facilitated 3 minute Speed-Networking sessions
• 7:30pm - 8:30pm: Informal networking and refreshments

 Each ‘meeting’ will last 3 minutes – when the whistle blows you will move to your next opportunity. Make sure to bring enough business cards, and also put a bit of thought into the message you want remembered!

Due to the nature of the event, overall numbers will be limited to 100, with a maximum of 2 people from the same company in attendance.

This event is free to attend but you must pre-register online.
