LGBTQ Networking: Build Out x OutPro x Intercollegiate Alumni - NYC

You're invited for an evening of meaningful networking as three LGBTQ professional networking groups come together to connect, share camaraderie, and build community.

• This event welcomes the full diversity of the LGBTQ community and supportive allies. Aspiring and established professionals across all industries are encouraged to participate.
• This event has special emphasis on the AEC industries: design, construction, and real estate. If you work in these or related fields, this is the one event this year you can't miss!
• A brief program at 7:30 pm will include introductions from Build Out Alliance and Out Professionals - Blu Dot will also share insight into the stunning showroom space that we will be celebrating in.
• Drinks and light bites will be provided.
• You will even have a chance to go home with a piece from Blu Dot by entering a drawing!

Our theory is simple. We believe design should do more than just look good. It needs to consider how each of us live and work, finding creative ways to make both easier and more delightful. To that end, we thoughtfully design every piece to have personality and a purpose. Namely, to be enjoyed by everyone for a good long time.
