How long should I make my Meetaway?
Most Meetaways are 1 to 1.5 hours long.
Attendees tell us that attending a Meetaway is at least twice as efficient as in-person networking events and often up to twice as socially draining per hour since there's so little downtime, which they appreciate. So, attendees who favor 3-hour in-person networking events typically prefer 1.5 hour Meetaways.
If your audience is particularly extraverted or you include a webinar with speakers or panel discussions then it could make sense to run them for 2 hours. While, in theory, attendees can leave the event anytime, in practice, they nearly always stay for the full duration. So, we don't recommend scheduling them for longer than 2 hours.
