We asked: "which of the following would you like at future networking events?"
In first place was: General networking time
In second place was: Formal presentations from experts
In third place was: Speed networking session
So, as a result, the networking on 10th June is going to include the general networking time as normal plus three fairly brief presentations from experts as well as a speed networking session.
Interestingly, after being in first place for a while "Free drink on arrival" ended up as "of no importance"! However, panic not - that traditional element of our networking events shall remain!
We also asked how people felt about having to pay to attend and the majority were either happy to pay or didn't consider it as part of their decision making. Only 9% said they wouldn't attend on the basis of that. The reason we charge is to help us cover our costs and also to decrease the percentage of people who just don't turn up on the night!
Finally we asked about the way we limited the number of suppliers to recruiters (to about 40% suppliers and 60% recruiters) at our last event. 60% of respondents said they thought it was a good idea and only 3% said it was a bad idea.
Hopefully we're doing our best to organise the type of networking events that everyone gets benefit from. If you want to come along to the next one you can register now!
