FAQs

Who goes to the events?
People looking to have an enjoyable night of networking, conversation, and entertainment. Most people are busy professionals that want to improve their business, social life, or love life by meeting more people with similar goals and interests.

Can I sign up with a friend?
Sure. Many people chose to come by themselves or in a group; it really does not matter.  You will be meeting lots of new interesting people!

What should I wear?
Make a good first impression by wearing clothing that is appropriate for the occasion and venue. There is no dress code, but it is always better to over-dress than to under-dress.

How much can you really learn about someone in just 3-8 minutes?
One thing is for sure—a lot more than if you never had the chance to meet them. You’ll be surprised at how much you can really learn about someone in just a few minutes. It’s enough time for you to tell if you like the person and if there is a possible mutual connection, but you don't waste a lot of time if there isn't.

What happens after a Speed-Networking Event?
You will get a list of the profiles (including whatever contact info they chose to disclose) of all of the participants at the event. Some events are separated into two categories businesses and end consumers. An example of this type of event is real estate related professionals and potential new home buyers. New Home buyers’ contact info will not be shared in profile cards, but the real estate related professionals’ contact info will be shared in the profile cards. At this type of event, it is up to the business professional to obtain the end consumers’ contact info at the event.

How many matches will I get at a Speed-Meeting or Speed-Dating Event?
It depends. You’ll be meeting a lot of new people, so it just comes down to how many people you are interested in. Since a “match” only occurs when both participants select “yes” for one another, the more “yes” votes you give, the higher likelihood of receiving more matches.
