OWAA’s Speed Connection is back—a fast‑paced (yet casual) networking session designed to help you make meaningful professional connections in a short amount of time - all on the very first day.

How it works:
  • It's a two‑hour networking event packed with individual four‑minute meetings.
  • Sponsors, exhibitors, agencies and brands are stationed at tables. (Sponsors and exhibitors already have an exhibitor table and will just use that table for this event. If you’re not a sponsor or exhibitor but want a small table for the duration of Speed Connections (and only during Speed Connections), please purchase your table through the registration page.)
  • Active, Senior and Life Members (Media) rotate from table to table. (No fee—just register.)
  • You'll use these short meetings for introductions, a quick pitch, and getting to know each other. Then you can spend the next two-and-a-half days following up. 
  • A designated open networking area will be available for Student Members, Associate Members, Speakers, and others who want to participate informally.

Want to join?
Active, Senior and Life Members (Media) should complete the participation form. Those needing a table (who aren't already exhibiting) should register directly through the event registration page.
