You certainly know Meet&Deal. Or at least it should ring a bell. It’s been over a year since the first event I organized, so it’s time to evaluate the whole thing and also introduce you to our next plans that you can look forward to. Meet&Deal, aka the most nutritious networking, has already been visited by nearly 1,000 participants from among entrepreneurs, e-commerce owners, investors, marketers, influencers, and other people who establish and deepen business relationships, discuss new trends, create collaborations, and simply make deals. So let’s get started.

The first Meet&Deal took place on October 5, 2023 at the Opera in Prague and attracted nearly 150 participants. But let’s go back to the beginning… How did the Meet&Deal concept come about? In my career, I’ve attended more than 500 events, mainly to network with interesting participants. But most of the events had networking written only in the program, and in reality, there wasn’t much space for it. So I decided to create a space where successful entrepreneurs and other people would meet for the purpose of networking. And where there is networking, deals are made.

Meet&Deal: An event experienced by nearly 150 people, offered not only a panel discussion on the topic of building communities, but also ample space for free networking. Participants appreciated the brand new format that pushed the boundaries of traditional networking and set high expectations for future events. Because right then, I knew that Meet&Deal vol2 would definitely happen and that it would be even better.

In March 2024, Meet&Deal returned with even greater energy. The second edition on Václavák22 was attended by almost 200 people, which was a new record in the number of participants. Again, guests could listen to a panel discussion, this time on the topic of “Personal brand and PR in e-commerce”, where I invited Zdravko Krstanov from Forbes, Ondřej Křivka from Media:List, and Martin Žufánek from the company Žufánek.

The Meet&Deal Summer Edition in June turned the classic Meet&Deal into a summer vibes version. What was it about? You can find out in the article Meet&Deal Summer Edition again raised the bar. What was the networking like in the summer vibes? We dressed the most nutritious networking in summer vibes and added a barbecue. One of the most significant results was the closure of a million-dollar deal between the company Radiohouse and Krmivy Pučálka.

Meet&Deal vol3 attracted a wide range of participants from various fields, with over 350 people gathering at Kaiserštejnský palác. With a diverse program, a wide range of participants, and an enormous energy, it could be said that it became the peak of the current history of Meet&Deal. The article The most nutritious networking experienced a grand evening. Meet&Deal vol3 will be hard to beat says it all.

In 2025, Meet&Deal will cross the borders of Prague and the Czech Republic for the first time. On February 20, we will go to Bratislava, where the most nutritious networking has not yet been experienced. But don’t worry, the concept will still be the same. Lots of interesting participants in one place, who come with a common goal – to establish contacts, build relationships and make deals.
