What is Speed Networking?
A Wharton take off on Speed Dating. Alumni of the Wharton School participate in a fast paced event with the goal of making connections and networking. Meeting new people can lead to employment, investments, knowledge or even new friends.
How does it work?
When you register, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire about yourself. This information will be used to organize the event as well as be distributed to each attendee at the beginning of the evening. The event includes three segments:
6:30 – 7:00: a 30 minute cocktail reception with hor d’oeuvres to start meeting fellow alumni in a non-structured manner
7:00 – 7:45: “Speed Networking” – how to efficiently meet 9-15 people in only 45 minutes!
Think speed dating – without the date part. Folks will be paired 2 per table for 3-5 minute intervals (depending on number of attendees). At the end of each interval, a bell will ring and people will rotate in a pre-determined manner. The result will be that each person will meet between 9 and 15 people in this structured event.
As everyone will answer a brief questionnaire, you will not need to exchange business cards. Instead, everyone will receive contact information for all the attendees of the event.
7:45 – 8:30: a 45 minute cocktail party so attendees can follow up with the interesting people they met or meet more people.
