Vol. II: Hey, what's your business? BUSINESS SPEED DATING & NETWORKING, Fri, Jun 28, 2024, ...

+++ Following the resounding success of our initial gathering in May 2024, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming second installment of our event at the close of June. This time around, we plan to delve into group discussions and one-on-one conversations about how Jakarta Friends can bolster local businesses, including those owned by our group members. Join us for an evening of altruism and community engagement - don't miss out! +++

Networking is the lifeblood of business! It's all about connecting, learning, and inspiring one another.

This event is open to anyone involved in business in Jakarta or online.

Come together for a BUSINESS SPEED DATING & NETWORKING session at Pos Bloc.

The concept is simple: We'll gather in the main hall at Pos Bloc, then move to a quiet spot to chat. Think of it as a traditional speed dating event, but with a business twist! Half the participants will remain stationary while the other half rotates, ensuring everyone has the chance to mingle with as many individuals as possible. Each person will have 2-3 minutes to pitch their business, story, project, or idea to each conversation partner. After the 2-hour session, we'll continue mingling and connecting to take our business networks to the next level.

The language of the event will be English. Your proficiency doesn't have to be perfect, just enough for effective communication. Use this opportunity to enhance your business English skills!

Seize the moment to showcase your ideas, businesses, and projects! Whether you're a new café owner seeking customers, a creative in search of collaborators, or an entrepreneur looking for feedback and funding - this is your platform.

Personally, I'm keen on hearing from women entrepreneurs, creatives, and local business owners about their stories and challenges.

At Jakarta Friends, we're evolving into a community focused on genuine connections. I'm particularly keen on supporting local entrepreneurs who have ideas for future events and want to contribute to our community's growth.

Entrepreneurs, creatives, startups, local business owners, dreamers, and ambitious professionals are all encouraged to participate in this casual networking event.

Please arrive on time to kick off our networking session smoothly. Update your RSVP if you can't make it to aid in organization and out of respect for fellow attendees. Repeated no-shows will result in removal from the group. Thank you for your cooperation.

There's no better way to network than in an informal setting over a beverage or snack. Dress in business attire if you wish (though it's not mandatory!), but most importantly, come with a smile and a clear goal in mind. Bring an open attitude and your business cards!

PS: Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
