Houston Energy & Business Mixer: Connections After Work

After a full workday, the last thing many professionals want is another presentation, panel or forced networking exercise.

Houston Energy & Business Mixer: Connections After Work is designed differently.

This is a relaxed professional networking evening for people working across:

• Energy and energy-adjacent industries
  
• Technology and data
  
• Consulting
  
• Operations
  
• Business development
  
• Sales and marketing
  
• Professional services
  
• Entrepreneurship
  
• Project and program management
  

Other Houston business communities

The majority of the evening is reserved for actual conversation.

There are:

• No speakers.
  
• No panels.
  
• No workshop.
  
• No public pitching.
  

Instead, attendees receive a few simple tools designed to make introductions easier and follow-up more useful.
