About this Event

The Connect

Meet • Learn • Grow

What is this event?

A fun and interactive evening designed to help you meet new people, practice real communication skills, and walk away with both connections and confidence.

Why should I come?

Because strong interpersonal skills are no longer just “nice to have”—they’re essential. As more technical skills become automated, your ability to connect, communicate, and be remembered is what will set you apart. In a world full of noise, human connection is your competitive edge.

How is this different?

This isn’t a free-for-all mixer with a bar in the corner. It’s a guided experience that does the work for you. You’ll warm up with icebreakers, learn methodologies to increase engagement with your audience when presenting. The evening is designed to make sure you leave, having learned something, built confidence, and with a number of new connections.
