How will it work 
At 5:30 pm everyone will log on to Microsoft Teams. (Try to join us a few minutes earlier!) The link will be emailed to you before the event and which room number you will go into for each round. We will share an overview of the hour and the questions for the breakouts. Then you will go into your designated breakout rooms where we split everyone up into small groups. In your breakout room, you will have a minute or two to introduce yourselves using the questions given. There will be 3 rounds with 15 minutes each. Then we will call everyone back into the main room after 3 rounds, share final thoughts and remarks. This will conclude our event at 6:30 pm. 

Remember Speed Networking is about creating meaningful connections and meeting new people. Cameras will need to be turned on while in the breakout rooms. We will take a group photo together at the end.
