SpeedMoot: speed networking for all!

Is this your first Oxonmoot? Have you been a few times but wish you could know a few more people? Are you an old-timer with the 'I know your face but not your name' problem?

Come to SpeedMoot, meet new and old people and find out things you never knew about others!

In person format: sit at college dining tables across from another person and talk to them for 5 minutes, when the bell goes, move down to the next person.

Online format: come to the meeting strand, get randomised into a breakout room by a steward, talk for 5 minutes, get moved to another room, and so on. We will provide prompts for starting the conversation!
