Networking xPress

To begin CATHIC 2013 delegates can take part in Networking xPress, introduced very successfully at our other conferences in previous years. Essentially speed dating for business, this unique opportunity allowed delegates to meet each other, exchange business cards and move on to meet the next person. Participate and it could be the fastest, most beneficial and enjoyable 60 minutes of networking you will ever do!

Konferansa açılış resepsiyonu öncesi düzenlenecek Networking Xpress oturumuna katılarak iyi bir başlangıç yapabilirsiniz. Bir saat boyunca diğer konferans katılımcılarıyla tanışabilir ve kartvizit alış-verişinde bulunabilirsiniz.
