Event Description:
Join area business women for a fun, no pressure speed networking event. Bring plenty of business cards and plan to meet 20-30 new people. When you arrive you’ll be asked to fill out a short form with key facts about your business. After some casual networking you’ll join a table of 8 or 10 other business women and when the speed networking round starts you’ll use those key points to introduce yourself and your business to the others at your table. When the round is complete you’ll move on to another table and introduce yourself to that group. Each round will last approximately 15 minutes and there will be 3 rounds. There’ll be plenty of time for casual networking and socializing afterwards.

[gdlr_heading tag=”h2″ font_weight=”bold” ]Networking Tips from the Experts[/gdlr_heading]
For many of us, stepping into a networking event can be an intimidating proposal. At the Woburn Chamber of Commerce, we take pride in hosting events that are friendly and welcoming. Introductions are easily made and we always enjoy meeting new people!
Here are some tips on breaking the ice from Ivan Misner, author of Networking Like A Pro. In his article for Entrepeneur.com called, “Hate Small Talk? How to Break the Ice When Networking for Business”, Ivan has two main suggestions.
- Current Events: Even if you don’t have any interest in sports or the latest celebrity gossip, taking just a cursory glance at the headlines on websites like CNN, ESPN or People arms you with conversations starters for all ages.
- Ask Questions: Give the person you are meeting the opportunity to be the expert! Ask them about their business and let them do the talking. You might learn something interesting and they will enjoy being able to share more about their business.
