Speed Networking

APABA-DC
Practicing Attorney Resource Program


You’ve heard it before – it’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know. And here in the D.C. metro area, it couldn’t be truer. But have you ever been to a traditional networking event, like a conference, and left without making a single new connection because everyone seemed to gravitate towards those they already knew, including you?

Welcome to the world of Speed Networking, the new urban trend where you are guaranteed to meet several new people you wouldn’t otherwise meet without the awkward small talk.

Come join APABA-DC members and meet one another for the first time – there are likely to be people in the room who would make promising contacts and friends. Participants will also learn useful tips on how to be a more effective networker.

When: Thursday, April 26, 2007
6:30pm – 8:30pm

Location: Wiley Rein LLP
1776 K Street, NW
Washington, DC 20006

Closest metro stops are Farragut West on the blue and orange lines and Farragut North on the red line

Contact: Please RSVP to Leah Frazier at par@apaba-dc.org by April 23, 2007.

I was interested in joining the APABA-DC, but it appears that the link might not be working right now. Is there an alternate link or other means by which I can join? Thanks.
