"To be successful, a good business networking event should provide a spirited combination of old and new contacts, and the ProvidenceChamber’s new Speed Networking event does just that. Speed Networking offers an opportunity to meet new professionals from a variety of Rhode Island’s diverse and interesting industries, but it also allows a little time to catch-up and chat in depth with those contacts the more experienced networkers might see all the time, building deeper, more productive relationships. The unique format allows the participant to focus one-on-one with another participant and learn without the distractions and background noise that traditional restaurant-based business-after-hours events tend to feature. For anyone curious about networking for the first time, or frustrated by the traditional noisy, clique-based networking mixers, Speed Networking is the ideal event."
