ABOUT THE EVENT
There's no business without business networking... it's all about connecting, learning from each other & getting inpired.

This event is FOR EVERYONE who is doing any kind of business in Jakarta or online. Let's get together and have a BUSINESS SPEED NETWORKING (Vol. VIII)

The setting is very simple: We will meet and sit together. It's like a speed dating session, but the topic is business! Everyone will ge the chance to talk with as many people as possible. Everyone will have about 3 minutes to give an elevator pitch about their business/story/project/idea to every person they talk to! After the 2h session is over, we will mingle and connect. Are you reay to bring your business idea to the next level?

The language will be in English. Your English doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough for people to understand you. This is your change to improve your business English and to promote yourself and your great ideas, business, and projects!

Enterpreneurs, creatives, start-uppers, local business owners, professionals with big dreams and bold plans are very welcome to join in this informal business networking.

We have organised this event many times before with huge success! You can see a few past events here:

• Business Networking Vol. VII (April 2025)
• Business Networking Vol. V (October 2024)
• Business Networking Vol. IV (August 2024)
• Business Networking Vol. I (May 2024)

ABOUT THE VENUE
We will meet at Cipete Forest, just around the corner of MRT Cipete Raya, then find together a quite place to sit. Last time we did at CIpete Forest in August 2024 (see pictures here) we sat down at the steakhouse terrace and had a lovely time. Please order at least one drink at the venue for respect for our hosts!
