Speed networking: fast and fruitful

It is 6.30am at a drab conference room at a mid-range Wan Chai hotel - not the most cheery of scenarios. But the place is energised. People are smiling and speaking at high volume. They are clattering coffee cups, waving arms, stacking piles of business cards. This room is pressurised by the anticipation of what is about to unfold.

These people, almost all of them entrepreneurs or small business owners, are about to indulge in a binge of networking that will create rounds of referrals and, potentially, money.
