Business is all about relationships. But finding reliable
partners can be a challenge. Online matching services like Ariba
Discovery™ have changed the game and made things easier. But when
it comes to forming lasting bonds, there’s nothing like a
face-to-face meeting. So on April 11, Ariba, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARBA),
the world’s business commerce network, will host a speed networking
event to help buyers and sellers attending Ariba LIVE 2012, the
business commerce event of the year, connect, and ultimately, do
business.
“Business today is more connected and social than ever before,”
said Tim Minahan, Chief Marketing Officer, Ariba. “To be
successful, companies need a global network of partners on whom
they can rely and trust. At Ariba, we’re helping buyers and sellers
around the world to forge these connections.”
Making Matches
Keith Klos can vouch for this. As eBusiness Manager for
Fastenal, Klos attended the speed networking event held last year
at Ariba LIVE – though he admits he initially had reservations
about doing so.
“It was a joke inside our office – we called it speed dating,”
he says. And with good reason. Much like speed dating, Ariba’s
speed networking allows buyers and sellers to meet for a few
minutes to share their interests and desires before moving on to
chat up a new partner.
But the joke didn’t last long. Through speed networking, Klos
had the opportunity to connect with a number of companies who were
previously unaware of Fastenal. And one of them is now a
customer.
“Despite my misgivings and joking, the event was clearly a huge
success,” Klos said. “We are on the road to getting some
significant dollars in new business - not just trading dollars, but
brand new business.”
Speed networking is an exclusive event held only at Ariba LIVE.
