Virtual Speed Networking Session Using a virtual “speed networking” format, participants will have 10-minute conversations with other attendees who are relevant and interested in their profile. Participants must be registered with a complete networking profile for quality matching. After each conversation, participants indicate electronically on the platform whether they would like a follow-up meeting. If both participants are interested, a virtual meeting is then arranged within the Converve platform, which will continue to be open from 25-27 November for 1:1 online meetings to take place. |
