CONCLUSIONS

PERSONA
- Argentina
- Master student in Design Management
at IED Barcelona.
He has been in Barcelona for 5 months,
although he uses online social media
such as Facebook to keep in touch
with friends, he does not have time to
socialize and does not know many
people and businesses in Barcelona. He
decided to participate in Speed
Networking activities organized by SN.
He expects to meet other Master
students at IED as well as professionals
working in design industry in Barcelona
for future job and internship
opportunities.
Pablo, 26 years old
