The advantage of lunchtime networking
Posted 03 Jan 2012
Over the last year, I have attended a number of networking meetings hosted by various organisations and have noticed a similar pattern with all of them in that I build better contacts at lunchtime meetings compared to early morning breakfast meetings.
I think there is a very good reason for this. Lunchtime meetings usually take up the best part of an afternoon and anyone who is willing to give up this amount of time is serious about networking. In contrast, the early morning meetings (where everything is over by 9) feel rushed. Everyone is in a hurry to get to work. No one has time to talk. But that is the wrong attitude. You can't rush networking. You need time to talk to people.
Do you go to breakfast or lunchtime networking meetings? What works for you?

I've joined 4n networking breakfasts, these meeting start around 8am and finish around 10am. The breakfasts are extremely well structured and offer ample opportunity to 'network' with interested parties.

My college attends both but gets more from the breakfast meets. Personally I think people who make the effort to get up earlier than usual to go to a meeting can often be more more serious about it (I know I hate early starts). With lunch meets I think some people may just be looking to get out the office and break up the day.
