2026 Manager Speed Dating

Thursday, August 13, 2026 (1:30 PM - 3:45 PM) (EDT)

Description

"Turning the Tables" at one of our most popular traditions! 

Enjoy a different type of quality time! Management companies host company tables for "Speed Dates" with rotating business partners. 

As a prelude to our traditional trade show where 'buyers' rove exhibit booths, at this event the business partners do the roving, in scheduled rounds of mini-dates. "Buyers" and "sellers" connect names and faces in a high-energy, fun environment. A new date every 6 minutes! 

 

Your conversations can get right to the important stuff, because we help participants learn a little about each other before the event so no need for lengthy introductions. When the bell rings, time's up! ... and the next business partner arrives. 

From previous participating managers: 

  • "Loved the Speed Dating. I felt like we got a lot more information than when you wander around the expo." 
  • "Vendors kept it quick and got to the important info fast. It wasn't about the swag and you weren't interrupted by other people coming up."
  • "I loved the ability to connect with various sources, previously unknown to me. Awesome resource!" 
  • "More relaxed than the expo floor, and gave vendors a chance to add a personal touch to their 'sales pitch' and gave us a chance to ask questions."
