SPEED DATING
We’re bringing our partner network together for something a little different…
Join me, Aron Taylor-Smith for a fast-paced, high-energy B2B speed dating event, designed to help you meet each other properly, discover collaboration opportunities, and make valuable connections — without the small talk or endless coffee chats.
THE DETAILS
DATE
FRIDAY 17TH OF APRIL 2026
LOCATION
DONINGTON PARK // DE74 2BN
MB MOTORSPORT HOSPITALITY UNIT
TIME
3.30 PM - 7.00 PM
HOW IT WORKS
YOU’LL TAKE PART IN A SERIES OF TIMED, ONE-TO-ONE MEETINGS WITH FELLOW PARTNERS.
EACH “DATE” LASTS JUST LONG ENOUGH TO:
// INTRODUCE WHO YOU ARE
// EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DO
// SPOT WHERE YOU COULD WORK TOGETHER
THEN IT’S ON TO THE NEXT CONVERSATION.
NO PITCHING. NO PRESSURE. JUST EASY, STRUCTURED NETWORKING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.
WE’LL TAKE A SHORT COMFORT BREAK HALFWAY THROUGH, AND ONCE THE NETWORKING WRAPS UP, ARON WILL HOST AN EXCLUSIVE GARAGE TOUR TO ROUND OFF THE AFTERNOON.
BRING A PROP (OPTIONAL BUT ENCOURAGED)
TO KEEP THINGS FUN AND MEMORABLE, FEEL FREE TO BRING:
// A SMALL PRODUCT SAMPLE
// A BRANDED ITEM
// A PHOTO, OBJECT, OR VISUAL THAT HELPS EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DO
SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT SPARKS CONVERSATION AND HELPS PEOPLE REMEMBER YOU AFTER THE BELL RINGS.
NO PROPS? NO PROBLEM — CURIOSITY AND GOOD ENERGY ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH.
6 MINUTES
3 MINUTES EACH. THATS ALL YOU GET. JUST ENOUGH TIME TO SOUND IMPRESSIVE
YOU END UP IN A RACE GARAGE
WHERE EVERY GOOD MEETING SHOULD END
DATING - WITHOUT THE TRAUMA
NO CHEMISTRY REQUIRED, JUST MUTUAL LINKEDIN CONNECTIONS
