Pitching, learning to pitch, and “brief storytelling”.
In a few words, that summarizes how speed dating works.
Last week, Unizo Mechelen hosted this Speed-Dating Networking Event for Dummies & Pros at Officenter Mechelen. The feedback was very positive!
56 entrepreneurs from various industries took part in the event, seizing the opportunity to expand their network in a single evening, and enjoying plenty of inspiration and interaction. It was about much more than just exchanging business cards. It was an evening of sharing, pitching, learning to pitch, and above all, storytelling.
The evening kicked off with three inspiring stories, each from a local entrepreneur who shared their experiences regarding the challenges of networking, as well as wonderful success stories. We received tips & tricks and, above all, the advice to “dare, do, and be yourself”.
After 27 one-minute pitches with the person across the table, it was time to sit down for a delicious pasta buffet, provided by the bistro at Officenter Mechelen. A seamless transition from formal to informal networking, and the perfect opportunity to catch up with interesting connections and get to know them better.
This Speed-Dating Networking Event at Officenter Mechelen proved that networking is for everyone. Whether you are a start-up unaccustomed to striking up conversations, or an experienced entrepreneur looking for new opportunities, the event was both accessible and efficient.
We were truly honored to host this inspiring event.
We look forward to the next edition!
