The venue was buzzing. Delegates were networking constantly. Even during the presentations and celebrity talks they seemed to be connecting, exchanging details and information, doing deals sometimes but often just establishing a foundation. Hands were being shaken whether you looked. The venue has been designed for it. Delegates could set up meetings but also find new partners, stumble across them in a space designed for networking. The organisers had used their AI to predict the networking opportunities and flows and created the optimal space. The delegates made the most of it. Even the human ones found someone to talk to.
