Horse Racing is networking
So this is the day, when Australians will drop their pens, move away from their computers or simply stop serving customers. It is the day that stops the nation, the one and only Melbourne Cup Day. Australians are BIG spenders when it comes to betting who will be the winner of the Melbourne Cup. Up to this morning, betting spend is up by 25% from last year, no sign of a recession at all. At the end of the day, this is Australia!
Every year, this horse race stops what Australians do, whether in Australia or abroad. The whole country is unapproachable for three minutes, only the mums that pick up their kids from public schools at 3pm are the ones, that have no chance to watch, although some schools now offer TVs in staff rooms as a remedy.
On such an important day, we know: networking stops too, just for these three minutes and guess what: there is plenty of networking going on after that, so let us enjoy our horse race and let us network before and after the Melbourne Cup.
