VIVA's Speed Networking is one of our most popular events. In fact this year we have to limit the number, so please DO sign up as early as possible.

What is Viva’s Speed Networking?

Viva’s speed networking is like speed dating for professionals. It is a structured process for people who don't know each other to meet and exchange info. The rotation of participants allows each person gets the opportunity to interact with every other person attending the event.

Here are some tips for a successful Viva networking:

1, Have an Elevator Speech Ready

Prepare a short elevator speech which summarizes key elements of your work and educational history as well as what you're thinking about regarding your future career path.

2, Bring your Business Cards

3, Preparing Questions to Ask

Showing a genuine interest in your partners during speed networking will help you to develop a solid rapport with other participants. Below are a few sample questions:

1. What is the most challenging aspect of your current job?

2. You mentioned that you are ready to change careers. Which of your current skills would you like to draw upon most in the next phase of your career?

3. What advice would you give to someone who is interested in your field?

4. What areas of your industry will offer the greatest opportunity in the coming years?

5. Would it be possible for us to meet again since I am so curious about your work?

Come to Viva's Speed networking, you'll have the opportunity to meet a diverse range of women, from CEO's, diplomats, entrepreneurs, innovators to business owners and so on…
