Speednetwork the Globe!

Swap ideas – fast! A lively activity to get people talking. Use it as an icebreaker, or as a way to exchange ideas and experiences.

Networked Students

Networking is a key enterprise skill:Students need the confidence to meet new people, communicate ideas effectively, and seek out contacts who can support them.

Golden Rules of Speednetworking

1. You must meet someone new - no staying with the people you know already!

2. When the whistle blows, move on (don’t hang onto the same person!)

3. Remember, it’s just a bit of fun!

Round One: Meet someone new & tell them where you’ve come from today.
