When you network with people, do you often ask yourself, what can I do for this person, or what can this person do for me? MeetingWave (previously TravelersTable.com) is a new site that breaks down those communication barriers by arranging face-to-face meetings with people you choose in the places you will be. Their focus is fairly direct: to help you find new business, job opportunities, clients, or social contacts.
Members can post public invites in a location of their choosing to network over lunch, drinks, golfing, or any other social activity (in a business sense, of course). You are encouraged to describe the types of people you wish to meet. Interested parties may accept your invitation, but only you have the power to approve their attendance, so you maintain full control over who you meet.
You can also set up private invites in which invitations are sent to only a few selected members.
If you want to invite friends and colleagues, MeetingWave allows you to import your Gmail, Yahoo, or LinkedIn contacts. The site has a mobile version and an application on Facebook and Bebo.
John Boyd, MeetingWave’s founder, says that MeetingWave can be an especially valuable tool for recruiters. “Not only is it free to post a meeting invite to meet potential candidates, but our tool enables you to post invites to meet at specific times and locations with people that meet your search criteria and also control who you meet and whether the meeting occurs. MeetingWave is powerful in that you can develop personal relationships with job seekers. We are seeing invites posted for professional networking meetings to find candidates for open positions.”
