We all know that first impressions count, and when you've got between 10 and 15 first impressions to make in one evening, you've gotta make it count over and over again. Believe me, anyone who's been to one of our High Speed Networking events knows all about making it count. High Speed Networking is one of the most intense - and rewarding - networking opportunities offered by Networking For Professionals. On April 13, NYC professionals converged on The Galway Hooker Pub in Midtown Manhattan, armed with their best elevator pitch and a handful of business cards. They participated in a series of lightning-fast 4-minute introductions over the course of the evening. NFP co-founder and host for the evening, Amanda Nissman, was there to run the event and capture the scene with her digital camera.

It's important to take the time to smell the flowers that are in full bloom all across the city. Glorious Spring is as fleeting as it is wondrous.

On April 6, many area professionals took advantage of those opportunities at Shakers and Stirrers NYC.
