Networking can connect you with potential clients, partners, employers, or investors. But it can also feel awkward, intimidating, or downright exhausting—though it doesn’t have to. If you’re tired of the same old “What do you do?” questions, join us for this event featuring guest speaker Prof. Alexander Scott and learn how to move beyond small talk to build meaningful connections.
You’ll walk away from this session with practical skills, a memorable experience, and the confidence to network like a pro!
What You’ll Take Away:
🔸 Brainstorm “human hooks” that go beyond your company name and role.
🔸 Approach networking as an exercise in structured curiosity.
🔸 Learn two techniques to reduce your own anxiety and increase the other person’s comfort.
Drinks will be available for purchase at the bar, and light snacks will be provided. Doors open at 5:10 p.m., with the presentation beginning at 5:40 p.m.
