I was asking myself that question until this morning. Here's the answer...speed networking is a program that the Peoria Chamber of Commerce offers. It is intended for those businesses whose success depends on word-of-mouth referrals and marketing. The Chamber limits the participation to one company from each business sector (example: health care, insurance, advertising, engineering, etc.) and basically you have 90 seconds to present your "company basics" and then it is another person's turn. You then move down the table and repeat the process all over. This continues for the next hour to hour and a half.
It was fun to see how much information you could present in 90 seconds and how much you could learn in 90 seconds about another company. I met a lady whose company is responsible for creating all of the decals for he Caterpillar skid steer line. I will tell you one thing though...I was definitely tired of talking after the event! (A)
