About this Event

Once again it's time to “shake a hand, shake a hand” at 2025’s last, and most festive, holiday Black & Brown Connect Mixer!

This time, join us at The Catalyst Center to wrap up the year in style. Space is limited, so register today!

The Black & Brown Connect Mixer is the perfect opportunity to meet, share, and connect with folks from across the spectrum of industry, including business and community leaders and entrepreneurs in a space built by and for us. Enjoy amazing food, drinks, and a mix of holiday and other classic tunes to get you feelin’ all festive.

PLUS as always, we want to hear from you. The annual survey is how we connect to your thoughts and ideas and ensure the content for the year considers the conversations that are impacting our communities right now.

  • What topics do you want to hear or learn more about?
  • What conversations are critical to support building our communities right now?
  • Who would you like to hear from in our community?

No matter what field you’re in, you can count on engaging and relevant discussion, leadership, and other personal development opportunities, hearing from community leaders and mentors, and leaving energized.

Share this with a friend or colleague who should join us! We look forward to welcoming you then.

“One who walks with the wise and successful shall be wise and successful.” - African Proverb

About the Black & Brown Connect

Developed with professionals and career-minded folks of color in mind, the Black & Brown Connect is a place to gain connections and build relationships right here in our community—ones you can use to build on your success in a psychologically safe space. This is a time like no other, particularly for Black and Brown folks. Perhaps you are leading a team as the only person of color. Perhaps you are looking for ways to engage in a more culturally competent and relevant space with folks who can relate to many of your experiences in the workplace. Or, perhaps you are looking to unleash your inner entrepreneur and want to start or scale your business to the next level but could use a boost in the connections department. No matter your station, this mixer is a great place to dig in and create an impact for yourself and our communities.
