networking event
Business card exchange
A networking event is a gathering organized for professionals to meet and form business connections.
The purpose is building relationships that may lead to job opportunities, partnerships, or clients: I collected a dozen business cards at the networking event.
Such events range from formal industry conferences to casual happy hours.
