About this Event

Your network keeps getting stronger—and this time, we’re rolling out the red carpet for you.

Join us on Thursday, August 28th for the fourth installment of Meet After Work—DC’s upscale red carpet networking and social experience where ambitious professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs come to build meaningful connections and exchange referrals that move careers, businesses, and friendships forward.

This installment introduces a new focus: referrals with purpose. When you step up to the mic, it’s not just about introducing yourself—it’s about sharing the types of business referrals you’re looking for as well as the social referralsyou’d welcome, like meeting good people who can become genuine friends. And just as importantly, you’ll share the kinds of referrals you can provide for others. This makes every connection more intentional and every introduction more valuable.

We also encourage everyone to bring someone along—a colleague, a friend, or someone new to the city. The bigger and more diverse the room, the stronger the connections and the more opportunities to open doors for one another.

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 to help the room get to know you:• What’s your name?• What do you do?• What are your interests?• What types of people (business or social) would you like to meet—and why?• What referrals can you provide to others?🤝 Referrals and introductions that lead to real opportunities and lasting relationships🍴 Great food and music between open mic segments✨ Curated vibes that make networking feel natural, not forced

This structure makes it easy for everyone to share who they are, what they’re looking for, and how they can help others.

This is networking with intention—and a social scene that feels effortless. Whether you’re building a brand, making a career pivot, growing your network, or just looking to meet good people, Meet After Work is where things shift. You’ll leave with more than just contacts—you’ll leave with visibility, momentum, and a stronger circle of both professional and personal connections.

This month, it’s not just networking. It’s your time to shine.
