OABC to host high-impact speed networking evening with Vodafone Oman
Muscat – The Oman American Business Council (OABC) is proud to announce its upcoming Speed Networking Evening, set for June 17th at The Diplomatic Club. This signature event, widely regarded as one of OABC's most effective and enjoyable formats, brings together Oman's business leaders, corporate executives, and SME founders for a structured, high-energy evening of meaningful connection.
This year's event is proudly sponsored by Vodafone Oman and held in partnership with Riyada, Oman's Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises Development. Riyada will be inviting a select group of Omani SMEs to attend, creating a unique opportunity for direct engagement between corporates and local businesses.
Mohammed Al Alawi, Head of Enterprise at Vodafone Oman, shared: 'This event is a chance to build real partnerships. By supporting SMEs and promoting ICV, we're not only contributing to the national economy, we're also helping our clients create stronger, more sustainable supply chains.'
The evening will begin with a fast-paced speed networking session where participants engage in brief, one-on-one introductions to quickly expand their network. Following the structured portion, guests can continue conversations over canapés and refreshments in an open setting.
'Speed Networking is a long-standing favorite among our members,' said Rebecca Olson, CEO of OABC. 'This year, we're proud to go beyond business cards—bringing large companies and local SMEs together in a way that directly supports Oman's ICV goals. Our partnership with Riyada ensures that the right entrepreneurs are in the room.'
In a special highlight, Vodafone Oman will unveil an exclusive new offer designed specifically for OABC members, providing long-term value and support beyond the event.
As the official affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Oman, OABC is committed to supporting U.S.–Oman trade ties while also championing opportunities for Omani entrepreneurs and SME growth through local partnerships, trade, and investment.
