W&M Professional Networks Online Networking Hour
Speed network with fellow members of the W&M community around shared professional interests
About
Connect with fellow members of the W&M community from all over the world to share your expertise and build your professional network!
It's free, it's for only an hour and it's fun!
How it Works:
Online networking enables you to speed-network no matter where you are in the world. You can sign in from your desktop, smartphone or tablet. The 1:1 chats are text-based and timed with new optional video & audio capabilities. A transcript of your conversations will be saved for you to access after each event, so you can look back at your chat history, review your notes, gather contact information and follow up!
While registering for the event, you will be asked to answer a few questions, including:
- What types of experiences, skills, expertise, or connections can you share?
- What types of connections, information or resources are you hoping to gain from this event?
When you enter the live event, you will be able to pick a professional interests booth that you would like to find connections to chat with (You are welcome to visit more than one booth during the event.).
From there, you will be randomly paired for several 8-minute text-based chats that will allow you to make a connection, exchange contact information and build your W&M network. After the event, be sure to add your new contacts to your network by adding them to your LinkedIn connections or following up via email.
We look forward to having you join us for this unique opportunity to connect with the Tribe around the world.
