WHY DO WE OFFER THESE NETWORKING SESSIONS TO OUR COMMUNITY?

As WOC and POC, we're disproportionately made to feel like we don't know how to network, or that we're bad at networking, and meeting new people in a professional context can feel intimidating.

On top of that, we don't have many spaces where we can connect with each other in a fun, structured way–especially across industry.

So during this structured networking session, we'll have opportunities for you to connect with each other in a stress-free way–and share a few key career strategies and tactics with you as well!

WHAT TO EXPECT

During this networking session:
- we'll have opportunities for you to connect with each other in a structured, stress-free way
- you'll learn a few key career strategies and tactics
- you'll leave feeling more positive, activated, and empowered about networking and connecting with others!

See you there!
