Fast Connections, Lasting Collaborations · Turandot Hall Some of the most important collaborations in the performing arts begin with a single, well-timed introduction. Speed Networking turns that serendipity into a system. Over two fast-moving hours, artists, producers, agents, and presenters meet in a series of short, timed exchanges — a structured way to make many meaningful connections in the time it would normally take to make one.
The format is simple and energizing: participants are paired for rapid meetings of up to ten minutes each, and when the signal sounds, everyone moves on to the next encounter. The aim is not to close a deal on the spot but to exchange ideas quickly, recognize where interests align, and identify the conversations worth continuing. By the end of the session, every participant will have met a wide cross-section of the market and gathered a handful of leads worth pursuing. It rewards preparation and openness in equal measure — a clear sense of who you are and what you’re looking for, the willingness to listen, and the discipline to follow up. Fast connections are the point; the lasting collaborations they spark are the prize.
HOW IT WORKS
Participants are paired for a series of short, timed meetings of up to ten minutes each. When a signal sounds, everyone moves to their next meeting — so you meet many attendees in a short time. The goal is to exchange information quickly, identify potential collaborations, and schedule follow-up meetings.
