Business Speed Date at MCA LABS
Last month, we hosted a dynamic business speed dating event at our MCA LABS venue, specifically in one of our event spaces: The Hull.
Inspired by our mission to create meaningful connections between onsite organisations, the event brought together a diverse range of companies eager to exchange ideas and explore potential partnerships.
The concept
The idea was simple yet impactful. Each participant had 10 minutes to sit down with someone from another organisation. During this time, they introduced their company, their role, and the work they do within their organisation. These brief but focused conversations created an engaging environment where participants could learn from each other’s perspectives and discover shared goals.
Once the 10 minutes were up, participants switched places, starting fresh discussions with a new person. This format allowed everyone to meet multiple people within a short span, making it a highly efficient and exciting way to build professional relationships.
Highlights of the event
It was fascinating to see how passionately participants spoke about their roles and responsibilities. Many expressed genuine interest in learning more about the other participants’ work and viewpoints. There was a lot of enthusiasm as creative minds shared ideas and explored innovative opportunities for collaboration.
Looking ahead: The power of connection
We were inspired by the energy and creativity that filled the room during the event. Seeing so many professionals come together with open minds and a collaborative spirit reminded us of the power of connection. This event was not just about networking but about planting the seeds for future innovation and success.
