Springfield Regional Chamber Breakfast to Feature Speed Networking
SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield Regional Chamber will hold its monthly Business@Breakfast with a speed-networking theme on Wednesday, Feb. 3 from 7:15 to 9 a.m. at the Colony Club, 1500 Main St., Springfield. Sponsored by United Personnel, the breakfast will provide attendees with a quick and entertaining opportunity to introduce themselves and pitch their company to the other attendees.
The core concept to speed networking is the ‘elevator speech,’ a short summary of an individual, business, organization, product, or service — a summary that a person could deliver in the time span of a short elevator ride. Attendees will be divided into two groups, seated across from each other. Each group member will have 60 seconds to give an elevator speech to the person seated directly across from him or her. Once each member has given their elevator speech, they will change seats, and the process will begin again with a new partner. This round-robin format of networking will continue until the event is over.
Breakfast will begin at 7:15 a.m. To accommodate the event, breakfast will not be served after 7:45 a.m., and no admittance will be allowed after 7:55 a.m. Reservations cost $20 in advance for members ($25 at the door) and $35 for general admission. Reservations must be made online and in advance at www.springfieldregionalchamber.com or by e-mailing Sarah Mazzaferro at [email protected].
