Although we all know that face to face meetings are best, they aren't always possible and usually take time. BITA uses an excellent platform called Remo, where we host regular networking events for all chapters on Friday mornings from 8 - 9am, and also for our hospitality division, starting on the 20th June.
Remo provides a user experience that is as close to F2F networking as we could find. You are put on tables, but can move about the 'room' freely, you are only ever in groups of 6, so you can have proper conversations with people, and if you want to have a 121, there are areas where you can go as well. We recommend that everyone gives these events a try, you will probably be pleasently surprised!
This single page PDF guide tells explains how online networking really can help you build relationships with the BITA community.
