Virtual Networking Coffee Hour: Beyond the Job Title (September 25, 2026)

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Virtual Networking Hour

We’re planning these virtual networking events throughout in 2025. Each event will have a general conversation topic.

What to Expect:

Participants will take turns introducing themselves, sharing any networking needs they have (i.e. looking to build connections in a specific industry, looking to meet people working on a specific issue, interested in exploring career options, etc.)
Depending on the group size, we may break into smaller "rooms", so each participant has an opportunity to share.
Please have your LinkedIn profile link handy to share in the chat.
These events are not recorded.
Live participation with camera enabled is the best way to make the most of this time.
