Grow Your Network. Explore new Opportunities. In Just One Morning.

Looking to make meaningful business connections fast-

Join the Ayrshire Chamber for a morning of Speed Networking at The Park Hotel, Kilmarnock.

This dynamic format is designed to help you meet more people, spark new conversations and uncover opportunities all in a highly structured, time efficient way.

Once you have grabbed a warm refreshment and pastry you will take a seat at a designated table. Each delegate will be given a number and you will have 90 seconds to introduce yourself and your business to each person at your table before moving to the next table. After your pitch, you will become the listener. The bell will ring, signalling the next round of introductions. Over the course of the hour, you will have the opportunity to meet everyone in the room.

By the end of the session, you will have met every delegate in the room something traditional networking events simply can-t offer. There will also be time afterwards for more in depth conversations, helping you turn introductions into real relationships.

Why attend-

-Maximise your time - meet lots of local businesses in just one hour

-Boost visibility - raise awareness of your brand across the Ayrshire network

-Generate leads - discover potential clients, collaborators and referrals

-Sharpen your pitch - practice and perfect how you present your business

-Build valuable connections - create relationships that can support long-term growth

TOP TIPS

BE PREPARED

During the Speed Networking facilitated session there is not much time for small talk compared to other networking events so make sure you come prepared. Think about your 90 second pitch and how you are going to deliver any messages you want to communicate in that short time. Remember to bring your business cards and any other materials/brochures you might want to hand over to the other delegates if they are interested.

THINK ABOUT THE END BEFORE YOU START

Before you attend, set yourself clear goals and objectives to use each time you are talking to the other delegates. We will send you a copy of the delegate list beforehand so think how you could help them referrals, products, services or advice.

REMEMBER

Ask questions and listen too this will really let you understand what you can do to help and support. Focus on building relationships, not getting a quick sale.

FOLLOW UP

Take a notepad and pen and take notes throughout and follow up shortly afterwards.

ENJOY

It gets pretty loud at a speed networking event and our delegates get a real buzz from connecting with so many others so enjoy the time; getting to know people, developing new business relationships and meeting in-person.
