About this Event
HOUSTON AFTER HOURS: ENERGY & BUSINESS NETWORKING SOCIAL
Good conversations. New connections. One relaxed evening in Downtown Houston.
Houston After Hours is a casual professional networking social for people working across Houston's energy, business, technology, consulting, operations and professional-services communities.
No speakers.
No panels.
No presentations.
No forced pitching.
Instead, you'll have two hours of relaxed networking supported by simple tools that make meeting new people easier.
What to Expect
Open professional networking
Optional color-coded industry name tags
Houston Connection Card for paid attendees
Conversation prompts
Two optional Connection Windows
Opt-in post-event Connection Directory

The Connection Windows are not speed networking. They're simply brief cues to meet someone new if you're ready to move on from your current conversation.
If you're already having a useful conversation, keep talking.
