Meeting Idea: Speed Networking (1 Comment)

Usually, we have no problems with getting speakers for meetings, but if we get into situation like this, there's an interesting idea, which was first expressed by Keith Johnson, below is my interpretation:

Speed networking

It’s like speed dating without the romance. Someone comes to stage and talks about how heor she uses flash or any questions on flash, really anything. After 5 minutes the alarm went off and another person somes to stage.

This can be a good addition to the meetings, where, for example we have 1-2 presentations. What do you think?
