Meet After Work CBC Kickoff!

For the 5th installment of Meet After Work, we’re kicking off CBC week in style.

Join us on Monday, September 22nd for a special edition of Meet After Work – CBC Kickoff, an upscale red carpet open mic referral networking social at The Park at 14th (920 14th St NW, Washington, DC).

Every September, leaders, professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs from across the nation descend on DC for the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference. By day, they’re in sessions. By night, they’re looking for the perfect place to connect. This is that place.

This event combines the purposeful, referral-driven networking of Meet After Work with the electric energy of CBC week. Step into a room full of brilliant minds, exchange referrals, and build meaningful connections that last far beyond the conference.

Here’s what to expect:🎥 Red carpet interview opportunities as you arrive (business attire required to participate)🎤 Open mic sessions that spotlight YOU—answer a few short questions so everyone knows:• Who you are• What you do• Your interests• The types of people (business or social) you’d like to meet—and why• What referrals you’re seeking and what referrals you can provide🤝 Referrals and introductions that lead to real opportunities and lasting relationships🍴 Great food, drinks, and music between open mic segments✨ Curated vibes in one of DC’s most iconic venues, The Park at 14th

This is networking with intention during one of the most high-powered weeks of the year. Whether you’re here for business, community impact, or to expand your circle, you’ll leave with visibility, momentum, and connections that matter.
