About this Event

Looking to meet new people in a way that actually feels fun, easy, and intentional? 🀝
Join us for our upcoming Speed Networking Stop Light Party 🚦 a high energy night where professionals can grow their network through guided speed networking, with an optional dating component made simple through our color coded bracelet system πŸ’¬πŸ’›πŸ’š

We’re excited to bring this event to life in collaboration with the Central CT Chambers, CT River Valley Chamber, West Hartford Chamber, PYVOT, FLOW, and SPARC for an evening that’s equal parts connection, conversation, and great vibes.

This event is centered around structured speed networking, so you’ll rotate through guided, timed conversations designed to help you meet a wide range of people in a relaxed, well organized way ⏱️
No awkward hovering, no guessing who to approach, and no pressure just real conversations and meaningful connections πŸ™Œ

To keep the experience clear and comfortable, each guest will receive a color coded bracelet upon arrival 🎨

πŸ”΄ Red In a relationship and here purely for networking
🟑 Yellow It’s complicated and open to conversation
🟒 Green Single and open to both networking and meeting someone new romantically

Whether you’re here to expand your professional circle, build new friendships, or stay open to the possibility of something more, the bracelet system creates clarity while keeping the atmosphere respectful, welcoming, and fun.

🌟 Calling all sponsors and community partners!
We’re actively seeking sponsors who want meaningful brand exposure and to be part of an experience centered on real human connection. Sponsors will be featured before, during, and after the event.
