Networking
Opportunities
Networking is an integral part of the EuroMeeting. Attendees tell us that the networking
opportunities presented by the EuroMeeting are one of the key reasons for attending.
Each year, the EuroMeeting offers numerous opportunities to catch up with existing
contacts and to make new ones in a relaxing setting. All networking events at the
EuroMeeting are included in the registration fee.
The Mediterranean Reception
Monday, March 8, 2010, 18:30-20:00 at the Fairmont Hotel
Held at our headquarters hotel, the Fairmont, the Mediterranean Networking Reception is an
excellent opportunity to renew your existing contacts and to make new ones. Beer, wine and soft
drinks will be served with a wide range of delicious canapés. Enjoy the spectacular sea view. A restaurant
booking desk will be available to assist with making post-reception dinner reservations. Partner tickets are
available at the registration desk at the Grimaldi Forum for € 35 including VAT.
Student and Young Professional Networking Lunch
Monday, March 8, 2010, 12:45-13:45
An opportunity for student and young professionals to network with their peers in a relaxed environment.
DIA Special Interest Area Communities (SIACs) – Meet and Eat
Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 12:30-13:15
An opportunity for all SIAC members – and those interested in joining one – to get together for a networking lunch. DIA Europe’s Volunteer Service
Coordinator will be on hand to answer any questions.
Speed Networking Session
Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 13:30-14:00
All participants in the EuroMeeting try to use it as an opportunity to network. It is not easy to walk right up to someone, introduce yourself and have a
conversation. The EuroMeeting Speed Networking session aims to make this process a lot easier.
Speed networking, which is actually based on the original concept of speed dating, brings together individuals who are attending a conference. It will help
you to make new contacts and intensify your networking experiences. The goal is to ensure that each participant will make at least six new professional
contacts during the speed networking sessions.
Tuesday Reception
Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 17:30-18:30
You won’t have to go far to enjoy the Tuesday Reception held on the Exhibition Floors at the Grimaldi Forum. A restaurant booking desk will be available to
assist with making post-reception dinner reservations. Partner tickets are available at the registration desk at the Grimaldi Forum for € 15 including VAT.
Network on the Exhibition Floor
In response to attendee feedback, the Exhibition Floor is open even longer for the EuroMeeting 2010 in Monaco. Attendees now have the opportunity to visit
the Exhibition Floor before sessions start with the doors opening at 8am on Tuesday and Wednesday. All refreshments will be served on the Exhibition Floor
making it the ideal place to meet the people you want to meet.
Specially Targeted Networking Activities
DIA Europe has developed a programme of activities to facilitate networking for patients representatives, students and young professionals.
