2 people. 1 room. A match that made sense. Last week, at The Asian Edge during LA Tech Week, @acenextgen brought in ALINE Speed Networking: timed rounds that route every person to their next-best match. Chalsea and Jia matched, found each other, and discovered that they could help each other right away. That's mutual intent, made visible. Hosting an event? Elevate it with ALINE Speed Networking. Send us an email - info@aline.network. #ALINEnetwork #LATechWeek #SpeedNetworking #IRLnetworking #ACENextGen
