Speed Networking Lounge
Brief Abstract
Not sure what to do between sessions or looking for a place to sit back and have some fun with colleagues? Head to the Speed Networking Lounge, a reflective and collaborative space where you can recharge your brain (and maybe even recharge your devices). There you’ll find puzzles, games, and activities, as well as new opportunities for “slow networking” to engage in while you chat and get to know people (old and new).
