Network with a smart matchmaking algorithm
	Virtual Business Crews is a networking activity that uses a smart matchmaking algorithm to group you with participants who share your business interests and goals.
	Groups of 15 to 20 people are created and meet four times over the course of six weeks. The meetings are led by an experienced facilitator to optimize the networking experience.
 
	Why participate in Business Crews?
	No need to interrupt a conversation to introduce yourself to someone you don’t know at an event—with Business Crews, networking is simple and natural.
	You will easily connect with and develop lasting business relationships within your Business Crew made up of professionals selected especially for you.
	Past participants are unanimous: the Business Crews provide a unique atmosphere of collaboration and mutual support, since the facilitator encourages members to help each other and to go deeper in the discussions.
	By participating in the Crews, you will develop your network and create quality business connections.
