If you know and understand the value of networking... which is "How can I help YOU improve your business not how can you help MY business"; then any networking is of value.

I've been to several speed networking functions and they are wonderful fun... The best value to it is to ensure that the "next" person you meet is always someone you've never spoken to before.

The best way to get full value out of ANY networking function is to truly network. The longer you know people, the better you know what they do, the better you can help them do business and trust me on this one... If you bring your network buddies the business, they will bring it back to you... You don't ever have to ask. It just happens.
