Speed Networking event on December 4, 2010 December 4, 2010

Networking events are a must, whether you are looking for a job, are happy with your existing profile or are a budding entrepreneur. It is always refreshing to meet like-minded professionals and learn more about what’s in and what’s not!

So, how many professional contacts per month do you make on an average? Probably 10, 20 tops (excluding LinkedIn, of course).
How about making 30 contacts in four hours? Sounds exciting, right?

This December, SIPA, along with NETIP and SAMBAA brings you the Speed Networking event. We have done it before and we are back again! Take your event experience to the next level.

The goal of this speed networking event is to give an opportunity to professionals in the Bay Area, like you, to mingle around, exchange information and learn more. So, get ready for the event of the year. Keep your business cards ready. If you are looking for a job, start writing your elevator pitch and be ready to talk to 30-40 professionals across the Bay Area, from different walks of life. You will have the opportunity to meet with professionals from varied fields such as Software, Hardware, Marketing, Legal, Accounting, Human Resources etc.

Also, during the lunch break, we will be giving you tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

This compelling discussion will prompt you to rethink your priorities!
