...plus professional headshots by Miranda Jean Photography (Glass Eye Studios, Richmond Chronicle) are included with your ticket!
Here's what last year's attendees had to say:
“I usually struggle to network at events like this, but I felt very comfortable approaching strangers and connecting with them. Thank you for providing the space to facilitate that.”
"So many awesome connections and conversations came out of this session!”
“It was well-organized and included very useful, practical information for all in attendance.”
"Please do it again next year!"
Coffee, bagels, pastries, fruit, and other snack and beverage options will be provided.
Tickets are pay-what-you-will with a suggested donation of $10. All proceeds will go towards supporting the CultureWorks Community Impact Grant program, funding artists and arts and culture organizations around the region.
