AffPapa Conference Madrid to host speed-dating sessions

Scheduled on May 18-20 at Novotel Madrid Center, AffPapa Conference Madrid will feature one of its signature highlights: speed-dating sessions to connect attendees faster.

Originally introduced by AffPapa during the conference in Malaga, the speed-dating format of networking sessions is a signature experience at AffPapa Conferences, designed to make networking faster, easier, and more structured.

How the speed-dating sessions work

Speed-dating networking sessions are designed to help participants meet as many potential partners in a short amount of time as possible. Every session follows a simple format with one-minute rotations between participants.

• The sessions will run 3 times per day across 2 conference days.
• A full round of one speed-dating session lasts 30-60 minutes.
• Our host announces one-minute rotations, so attendees can swap seats and meet someone new.
• The goal is to make 20+ connections in just 30 minutes.

If you find a strong match during the session, you are welcome to leave the speed-dating tables and continue networking elsewhere at the conference. To make the most of your time at the tables, here are some essential networking tips that all participants are encouraged to follow:

• Have a quick introduction about them and their company ready.
• Keep a business card or a Telegram contact ready to share it easily.
• Drop a quick message to a potential partner to keep in touch.
