Zita,

This concept is nothing short of amazing. I am involved in several groups ranging from speed networking to "mill about the room" events. A business acquaintance of mine once said the goal of speed networking should be to arrange an hour meeting with someone to get to know them better. After all, how well can you get to know someone in 5 minutes let alone trust them enough to give a referral? By bringing 4 people together in an organized fashion, you are actually spending an hour getting to know each other and the potential for a relationship increases significantly. What a great use of an hour!
