I have never been to a conference like this where there are so many senior people in the room at any one time and you have such an opportunity to network, ultimately leading to people that open the door and introduce you to other gatekeepers in the organisation.The first hour [of speed networking] in particular was full of energy and full of buzz; it was very exciting.A lot of senior directors, CEOs and precisely the types of people we are looking to have conversations with to make those enterprise-wise investments.Other conferences I've been to - not just in the UK but across the US and Europe - are much more formulaic, whereas here it is much more about proactively integrating the delegates with the vendors.The comfort of knowing everyone is single and 'ready to mingle' makes conversation come easy and the atmosphere friendly and relaxed!Certain events allow you to bring a couple of your single friends, so there's no need to be nervous!We find Essex is a lively and vibrant location for all our singles events.

Priding themselves on finding your perfect match based on a physcology questionnaire they will suit you with like minded singles that are 'a cut above the rest' you're also able to filter specific search options to meet your needs.

But ultimately, those opportunities are when you need to make the most of this opportunity.

In the first few seconds, you can create a relationship that is going to last for months.

It is much more natural to meet single people at events.

Even a Speed Dating event is more natural than meeting someone online.
