Why did the group start?
Please read these questions!
sad Have you ever been to a Sydney networking event and got stuck talking to someone for ages and you were too polite to say anything?!
sad Didn't know when or how to ask for someone's business card?
sad Do you want to meet new people but don't feel like going by yourself?
sad Have you ever had to sit through a long-winded speech at a Sydney networking event which didn't even apply to you?

If you can understand any of those, then that's how Free Speed Networking started in Sydney.

 Why do people go?
1. Business Networking - Expand your business through referrals, new business contacts and discussing anything else on your entrepreneurial mind!
2. Career and Social Networking - Mix with like minded people in a fun environment.

How is Free Speed Networking Sydney different?

smile Perfect for attending by yourself because everyone will be encouraged to meet someone new anyhow!

smile Structured evening - No wasted time with lengthy speeches or getting stuck talking to the same person for what seems like an eternity!
