Sometimes we go to meetings or conferences, see the same people over and over, and never get to know any of them. Maybe it is because we are shy, or maybe there is no opportunity.
I learned a technique called speed networking. In this exercise, you divide your group into two. Line up two sets of chairs or have one of the groups sit at a long table. Have the other group lineup across from them, close enough to talk.
Give them three minutes to talk about anything. After three minutes, rotate and do it all over again until everyone from group one has met everyone from group two. It works.
