Networking Opportunities
Every conference we run has a focus on providing our members with the information and opportunities to help them connect with the right people to get the deals done they need to move their business forward.
Speed Networking
Yes, we know this sounds …not cool. That said, it’s effective! Talk to anyone who has done speed networking at an SIIA event and they will tell you it’s the fastest, most efficient, and fun, way to meet a lot of people. Speed Networking is a great foundation for starting conversations during and after the conference.
How it works: Speed networkers get 2 minutes each to tell each other who they are, what they do, and what they want before they move onto the next networker.
Opening Reception
Armed with business cards and introductions from Speed Networking, attendees of DataContent will enjoy a networking reception to kick off the conference.
One-to-One Business Connection Meetings
Connect with the companies and individuals that matter most to your business. These 12-minute meetings will help pave the way for future business success, be it increased capital, revenue, and / or strategic alliances.
The One-to-One Business Connection Meetings program is open to all registered attendees of DataContent who register prior to September 30th. The SIIA has partnered with Transparensee and Percepta Partners to offer a conference application to streamline the process of matching and connecting you to the attendees you want to meet with. Our goal is to find the best business meeting "matches" for you, to ensure you are connecting with the right people at the conference.
