The format for speed networking is called a round robin. The event leader will sound a buzzer to indicate the beginning and end of each round. Once the round begins, you introduce yourself and your purpose for being there, share your business card. A few questions and answers back and forth can quickly clarify if there is any potential for a follow up phone call or meeting. At the halfway point, the conversation switches to the second person, who introduces themselves and their reason for attending. After a second exchange of information, the event leader will sound the buzzer and you move on to the next person. Each encounter is 120 seconds, 60 seconds per person.
