Anything But A Business Card

Anything But a Business Card is a fresh take on professional connection without the pressure, the pitch, or the stiff networking energy. Whether you’re in tech, the arts, education, healthcare, nonprofit, entrepreneurship, government, or a field that doesn’t fit into a box, this event creates space for genuine connection among young professionals aged 21–35 in St. Louis.

To lean into the theme Anything But a Business Card, guests are encouraged to bring an item that represents who they are as a person and/or as a professional. It can be symbolic, funny, practical, sentimental, or creative — anything that sparks conversation and tells a piece of your story. No business cards needed, but personality is welcome.

Come connect with people who are building careers, shifting industries, starting businesses, and making a quiet impact across the city without rehearsing a 30-second pitch or passing around business cards.
