BUSINESS MATCHMAKING FORUM

Back by popular demand, we will once again hold a Business Matchmaking forum designed for your company to interact face-to-face with other companies and clients, developing new leads and possibilities to grow your business. We call it “speed dating for business.”

ISOA’s Business Matchmaking Sessions work like this: Matchmaking hosts sit at small tables with four chairs each. Companies who desire to meet with matchmaking hosts rotate around the room to sit across the table with desired hosts. Each session will last about 10 minutes. A bell is rung to signal the end of the session. All companies should have an opportunity to meet with their desired hosts. The short matchmaking meetings should be followed up with longer discussions at our networking sessions and beyond.
