🤝 Speed Networking: 1-on-1 Professional Morning Coffee Chat | Auckland Professionals Meetup

***

About This Event
Tired of standing in a crowded room not knowing who to talk to? This one's different.

We're bringing the speed dating format to professional networking — structured, efficient, and genuinely fun. You'll rotate through a series of short one-on-one conversations, meeting a new professional every few minutes. No awkward hovering, no dominating group conversations — just real, focused connection.

Whether you're in IT, Finance, Engineering, Law, Business, or the Arts, this is your chance to expand your Auckland network fast.

***

🗓 How It Works

• Arrive, grab a drink, and get your rotation card
• Each round = 5 minutes of 1-on-1 conversation with a fellow professional
• A bell rings → you move to the next person
• At the end, swap contact details with anyone you'd like to follow up with

***

💬 Great talking points to have ready:

• What you do and where you're headed
• Something you're working on or curious about
• What kind of connection would be valuable to you right now (job leads, collaboration, advice, referrals)

***

👥 Who Should Come

• Professionals looking to grow their Auckland network
• Job seekers wanting warm connections in the local market
• Anyone who finds big group networking overwhelming
• Career changers, new to Auckland, or just keen to meet interesting people

***

✅ What to Bring

• Business cards or your LinkedIn QR code or just your contact detail
• A 30-second intro about yourself
• An open mind and a good attitude

***

All skill levels and industries welcome. This is a safe, inclusive, and energetic space — the Auckland Professionals Meetup community has been connecting people across the city for years, and this format is designed to make every single attendee leave with at least a handful of meaningful new contacts.
See you there! 🙌
