Welcome to Speed Networking
What Does it Do?
• Gives you the chance to meet and speak with attendees from other White Rose organisations, which makes it much easier to contact them following the event.
• Allows you to meet as many people as possible in the shortest time and with minimum fuss.
How does it work?• Everyone is allocated a colour (see the chart at
the entrance) take a seat at the table with the corresponding colour. This ensures that people from different organisation can meet each other
• A WRAG rep. is allocated to each table.
• When the powerpoint indicates “Go” the WRAG rep. will speak for the first minute.
• The bell rings/ powerpoint changes to “Next”, this signifies that the speaker should stop and the person to the right of the speaker should start.
• And so on until everyone on the table has spoken.
What Should you Say?
• Each person will introduce themselves and speak to their table for one minute only about
(i) your role (ii) anything you do which supports
research or anything research-related you’d like to know more about
(iii) why you’ve come today
At The End of the Session
The table should briefly identify and note on the Genius Note provided:
• Common role themes• Unique roles• If they have any aspirations for their role
These notes will then be displayed for perusal and discussion throughout the day.
Don’t Forget
• Networking will help you to develop contacts• Any successful networker will tell you that the
golden rule in any networking is ‘following up’. • Don’t wait for people to contact you. • Sending people an email is fine, but a phone call
is much friendlier and will ensure you are better remembered.
• Speed networking is most effective in the weeks and months following the event – and if you avoid following up with people, you’ll only have wasted your time.
• Speed networking about to begin in 10 seconds…..
