Why is HOP Different?
Whether it’s the limited time to meet new people or the planning headaches and inefficiencies, traditional meetings and networking events often fall short for organizers and participants alike. Even when they go off without a hitch, the time commitment makes it unlikely to find regularly held structured speed networking events.
HOP is a unique small group switch model that enables up to 50 people to talk with everyone in the room in just one hour. Here’s a short video to illustrate.
Not only is it easy to set up in just a few minutes, HOP eliminates the need for pre-matching, so even when you have last-minute walk-ins and no-shows, your events run smoothly and everyone has the opportunity to communicate with each other.
The unique style can be used to help people connect in their common interests using value introductions, get-to-know-you questions, or any 30-second information exchange.
How does HOP Work?
Organizations and professionals license the turn-key HOP model to hold their own 1-hour events. They love that they’re quick and easy to run, can be virtual or live, and receive the ‘wow’ comments that highlight
the return on investment.
The HOP model makes it easy for you to bring people together more often to link in their common interests and share resources for GROWTH. (Gaining Rewards, Opportunities, and Well-being Together Holistically)
It’s quick to set up—simply place QR codes on tables and follow the provided instructions. For business introductions, the 30-second Themified Value Introduction based on communication science enables up to 50 participants to make more impactful connections in just one hour.
