How Small Talk Works1. WE LEARN WHO'S COMINGDuring registration, we'll ask what you're building, what you provide and what kind of people or opportunities would be useful to you.Our team reviews those responses before the event so we understand who's entering the room.2. YOU GET SEVEN MINUTESInstead of rushing through introductions, Small Talk gives you seven-minute conversation cycles.Talk business.Exchange ideas.Ask questions.Pitch something you're working on.Learn something.Figure out whether there's an opportunity worth continuing.3. WE HANDLE THE CONTACT EXCHANGESmall Talk uses Reuneo to support the structured experience.Instead of wasting the end of every conversation searching Instagram, scanning QR codes or typing phone numbers:SPEND THE CONVERSATION TALKING. WE'LL HANDLE THE CONTACT EXCHANGE.4. WE MAKE INTRODUCTIONS TOONot every valuable relationship should be left to chance.Based on who's in the room, the Railz team will identify people who may have complementary:BusinessesNeedsServicesExpertiseAudiencesOpportunitiesProjectsIf we think two people should know each other, we're going to introduce them.5. SOME CONVERSATIONS BECOME MEDIARailz will also have a media station capturing select attendees, ideas and projects throughout the evening.If you're building something interesting or have a strong perspective worth sharing, you may have an opportunity to sit down with us and talk about it.Selected soundbites may be distributed through Railz Network and related media channels.Media coverage is not guaranteed with admission.
