Created in 2006, RE Speed Network was designed as an efficient networking concept in which real estate professionals can gather in a friendly and efficient manner in order to create new business opportunities. The company was created as the direct result of the inefficient methods of business networking events that exist today.

"Too often you do not get to the right person at a business function or spend too much time with the wrong person," says Laurence Ross, VP of business development. "Current speed networking events are too broad based and do not promote meeting those individuals related to your chosen field."

RE Speed Network's target market includes but is not limited to: Sales and leasing brokers, attorneys, property owners/developers, title companies, lenders, mortgage brokers, REITS, appraisers, accountants and other related services.

Online Registration will be first come first served. Each category, i.e. investment sales broker, attorney, etc will have a limited number of seats, which should ensure that the attendees meet industry related peers in fields other than their own.

At the event, the participants will be seated face to face with each networking session lasting four minutes. At the sound of a bell, the session will end and the participants will move their seats accordingly to face the next person and begin again. "Our unique format gives everyone a chance to meet each other in an efficient and organized manner," Ross notes.
