SUMMARY:Young Professionals: Networking or NOTworking? | Workshop & Mixer 9/17 CV
DESCRIPTION:YOUNG PROFESSIONALS: NETWORKING OR NOT WORKING? | WORKSHOP & MIXER\nWednesday\, September 17\, 2025  |  3:30PM – 5:30PM\nMost business developers spend countless hours at happy hours\, mixers\, and industry events—but is all that networking actually working?

You’ll also learn how to position yourself as a true connector—the kind of person others seek out for introductions and opportunities. And most importantly\, we’ll cover why follow-up is where the real magic happens—because if you’re not turning handshakes into meaningful business relationships\, you’re NOTworking. \nLight appetizers and two (2) drink tickets provided (non-alcoholic options available).
