New Year, New Network: Young Professionals Launch Mixer

Welcome to 2026. The year you said you’d finally expand your network, meet more interesting people, and surround yourself with ambitious humans who challenge you to level up.

Well, here’s your chance.

Global Young Professionals invites you to kick off the year the right way: surrounded by Houston’s most dynamic young leaders, entrepreneurs, changemakers, and professionals who refuse to think small.

January sets the tone for your entire year. The connections you make now? They compound. The conversations you have tonight? They lead to collaborations, opportunities, friendships, and breakthroughs you can’t even predict yet.

What to expect:

• Drinks and light bites – Start the year right
• Great vibes – Curated playlist, not corporate elevator music
• Real connections – Meet young professionals across industries who are building something meaningful
• Fresh energy – Everyone’s in “new year, new me” mode; it’s the best time to meet people!
• No agenda – Just show up, be yourself, and see who you click with
• Surprise giveaways – Because who doesn’t love free stuff?

Come if:

✓ You want to meet cool people without the corporate cringe

✓ You’re new to Houston and need your people

✓ Your current network is 90% people from your company

✓ You set “be more social” as a 2026 goal

✓ You want to start the year with good energy

✓ You’re open to meeting your next business partner, mentor, collaborator, or friend

Spots are limited because nobody likes overcrowded events where you can’t actually talk to anyone.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
