Introducing the Meet the Professionals series – a refined, targeted and focused networking experience situated right at the ADE Matchmaking Hub in the sumptuous Pulitzer Hotel. “Meet the Agents” allows Pro delegates to connect with a curated group of professionals to unlock unique opportunities that rarely happen in everyday business life. This is an informal session, and anyone is welcome, but you will be expected and encouraged to move around the room and make yourself known to as many of the participating professionals as possible in this fresh, new take on classic speed dating. So prepare your pitch, be sure to be able to define your appeal quickly and efficiently, and dive in! The session will start with an in-depth introduction of the professionals and conclude with one-on-one networking opportunities.
