20/20 Speed
Networking is produced by the team behind the market-leading
publication, Prestige Events (est 2003), and the COOL Venue Awards
(est. 2007: audited social media audience 7.4 million)
20/20 Speed
Networking is a direct consequence of the consistent number of daily
calls and emails from event buyers that are fielded by the Prestige
Events magazine office team: buyers wanting to use our renowned
independent expertise to execute their prestige event which NEEDS
that aspect of charisma and COOL.
Hence, the creation
of 20/20 Speed Networking in 2011. An event whose modus operandi is
underpinned by the same undercurrent that runs through Prestige
Events magazine, and the COOL Venue Awards.
And also priced
within the budget reach of every supplier by costing a fraction of
other networking forums, whilst also delivering over twice as many
meeting as rivals.
We host seventeen
20/20 Speed Networking events in a calendar year, each uniquely
headlined with a different event theme which consequently brings
together likeminded individuals from both sides of the buyer-supplier
fence.
All buyers and
suppliers are targeted and qualified to ensure they fit in with the
specific 20/20 event and it’s theme (eg: 20/20 ‘Christmas
Parties’). Many multi-faceted suppliers choose to invest in
securing tablestands at a slection of 20/20 Speed Networking events
because of the comparative cost and many different buyers that
they’ll meet.
And uniquely, all 20/20 Speed Networking event are limited to just a
carefully vetted selection of 20 suppliers and 20 buyers.
All 20/20 Speed
Networking events are also uniquely scheduled to run over just a ½
day (ie. 20 x10-minute meetings), thus allowing event buyers and
suppliers to establish relations with the pre-vetted contacts that
they need and continue with the rest of their day.
As of July 2014, we
have seen the production of forty-three 20/20 Speed Networking events
in 36 calendar months, with over 200 suppliers and 700 event buyers
educated, enlightened, and entertained.
IT’S
INTENSE, BUT IT BLOWS AWAY THE FLUFF AND IS
DESIGNED
WITH BUYERS NEEDS IN MIND.
