Event Details

Networking isn’t just about exchanging business cards — it’s about building bridges, expanding access, and creating opportunity.

Join us for an energizing and interactive DEI Coffee Talk as we explore how intentional networking can open doors, strengthen professional relationships, and create more equitable access to opportunity for everyone.

In this session, we’ll unpack:

  • The difference between transactional networking and authentic relationship-building

  • How networking impacts visibility, career growth, and leadership pathways

  • The role of inclusion in professional spaces

  • Practical strategies to build meaningful connections — even if you’re not a “natural” networker

Whether you're an introvert who dreads mixers or someone who thrives in a room full of people, this conversation will challenge how you think about connection and give you tools to network with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.

Expect real talk, reflection, practical takeaways, and a few powerful “aha” moments — all over a great cup of coffee.

Come ready to connect. Leave ready to build.
