Thoughts on Speed-dating? 

So my wife introduced me to “Love on the Spectrum” and I’ve been hooked. It honestly brings the real to reality tv. Anyways, a couple of cast members went on speed-dating events and it got me thinking about copacking. 

Last week, I attended ECRM for generic pharma. This was essentially a well-organized, 4 day, speed-dating event between pharma manufacturers/wholesalers and buyers. 

I feel like the universe is giving me a sign. I kinda want to organize a virtual speed-dating event for CPG manufacturers and brands, and a separate event for ingredient suppliers and CPG manufacturers. 

Would this be of interest to anyone?
