Borrowed from the idea of speed dating, on Saturday The Hub Theory executed a similar concept for networking purposes. Speed networking is planned in the same manner as speed dating where potential candidates get a chance to talk to each other for 10-15 minutes before they move onto the next person, there was a room full of entrepreneurs and professionals who were given access to talk to one another at a time. Some 10-15 women were hosted in each session for an hour each. The Hub Theory was formed by Ashna Afroze, Ishrat Jahan Nabila, Maisha Samiha, Nafisa Tarannum, Rabita Rashid Majumder, Benazir Aunon Sarker, Sharreen Reza and Zeenat Poonam earlier this year when they hosted their first event on Women's day. The Hub Theory aims to be a networking platform solely for women to empower each other. As a follow up the team decided to host this speed networking event called The Hub Archive. The Hub Archive will be conducted every 2-3 months. The Hub Archive had two sessions - one in the morning and another in the afternoon, each running for about 60-80 minutes. The MC introduced the idea of The Hub Theory to the participants and started off the session. Each conversation was timed to ten minutes, before one moved onto another. Sessions ended with goodies bags from The Hub Theory and group photos and important feedback from the participants. The majority of the participants loved the session, some even called it therapeutic. To quote: Azra Selim, a businesswoman, said: “It was great to participate in the session. It's good to learn what everybody is doing, such interesting work that everybody is doing. Also got some suggestions and ideas about what I can do. So I found it very productive." "It was very productive. Got the chance to meet new people and reconnected with some people I knew. Got so much information. It was a very nice event," said Dr. Sharmina Huq, a skin specialist. Gulsetyne Ahmed, one of the country’s first female pilots, said "It was an interesting event for me because I think it’s a very new thing I experienced in Bangladesh or at least I haven’t heard of any. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also notice some problems in myself I need to work on. So I am looking forward to meeting wonderful people again."
