Speed networking is a fairly new concept based on the idea of speed- dating where you get to meet as many people as possible, in a short amount of time. Speed-networking has proven to be successful in the business sector and is now a popular component of many business conferences.

A dynamic networking event where you are guaranteed the opportunity to discuss ideas and exchange contact details with many others.

The event is free of charge* and a light lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Due to the nature of the event, places are strictly limited, so please don't delay in booking your place - details at http://www.hwtma.org.uk/education-outrea...workshops/

closing 30th October

Hi,
No more speed networking sessions are planed at the moment due to the lack of funding but if this initial event can show a need for similar conferences then.. why not?

There will be updates and feedback online on our website after the event
