YOUNG PROFESSIONALS: BRING YOUR INTERNS TO NETWORK
Tuesday, July 14, 2026 | 4:00PM – 6:00PM
Join us for Bring Your Interns to Network, an event designed to connect young professionals and summer interns with industry peers, mentors, and leaders. We encourage companies and current young professionals to invite interns from their office and introduce them to the value of getting involved early in their careers, meet peers, and gain industry insight.
The evening will feature a special guest speaker discussing the importance of networking early in your career, how to build lasting professional relationships, and ways to stand out as a young professional entering the workforce. Starting to build your network early can shape your career trajectory, opening doors to future opportunities, mentorships, and professional growth. The discussion will also highlight how utilizing your company’s membership with ABC can create long-term value once transitioning into a full-time role.
Whether you are just starting your internship, beginning your career, or mentoring the next generation in your office, this event is a great opportunity to see firsthand how beneficial involvement can be. From meaningful learning topics to building a strong professional network, attendees will leave with new connections and a better understanding of the impact professional engagement can have on their careers.
Please note: interns will not be allowed drink tickets.

Get ready for an evening where teamwork, friendly competition, and a little creative problem-solving take center stage!

You and your team will rotate through interactive activities that mirror real-world construction scenarios with a fun twist.

The competition wraps up with a hands-on build challenge as teams collaborate to construct the tallest tower possible.
Between challenges, connect with peers as teams rack up points and bragging rights. After the activities, join us next door at The Brass Tap for continued networking and drinks.
