Speed networking and morning coffee

This is the revolutionary, exciting and non-pressurised way to meet fellow conference attendees and industry peers in one hour long session and it is a part of the formal conference agenda. As you ‘speed network’, the introductions you make will become the starting point for conversations and networking throughout the conference. This is where long-lasting and profitable business relationships begin. We strongly advise that you bring plenty of business cards and take advantage of this session to meet as may people as possible.
