“You Belong” Conversation Table & Lunch

Thursday, August 13, 2026 | 11:30 am - 1 pm

Building a business or working remotely can sometimes feel isolating. Even when you are surrounded by people, it is easy to stay in surface-level conversations and leave without truly connecting.

“You Belong” Conversation Table & Lunch is an opportunity to step away from your work, share a meal, and engage in the kind of conversation that helps people feel seen, supported, and connected.

No presentations. No elevator pitches. No pressure to sell yourself.

Thoughtfully selected conversation prompts will help move the discussion beyond job titles and routine networking questions. You will have space to share honest experiences, hear new perspectives, and connect with the people behind the businesses and work represented in the room.
