Speed Dating With the Experts

What is "Speed Dating with the Experts"?
Do you have a burning question that you'd love to have answered by a chorus industry leader? Do you want insight that goes beyond general information available in breakout sessions? Sign up for one of our unique offerings: Speed Dating with the Experts!

You've Got 12 Minutes and Counting, So Ask Away...
Speed Dating sessions are 12-minute, one-on-one private consultations with leading industry experts, such as artistic and executive directors, consultants, board members etc., who volunteer their time to be available to our attendees.

Sessions are available and free of charge to every attendee and give you the opportunity to get knowledgeable answers and advice about issues that your own choral group is facing! This is an opportunity to discuss anything from fundraising strategies or attracting more tenors, to hiring and firing an executive director.

How Do I Particpate?
When you register for the conference on-site, look for the Speed Dating sign-up table in the registration area where there will be a timeslot master sheet. Sign-up is on a first-come, first-served basis and will fill up quickly. More than one person from the same organization is permitted to attend a Speed Dating session, but we request that delegates only sign up for themselves, and not for others. As some Speed Dating consultants only offer limited time slots, it is very important to let the coordinator at the sign up table know if your plans change and you will be unable to attend your assigned session.
