Networking with Notables

The event begins with a multigenerational panel featuring leaders at different stages of their careers who will share how networking has fueled their professional and personal growth. Hear about the connections that changed everything, the lessons they’ve learned, and the strategies that helped them build lasting relationships and successful careers.

Next, you’ll participate in an interactive Curating Connections workshop led by She Runs It, where you’ll develop practical techniques for making connections, strengthening your personal brand, and approaching new relationships with confidence.

Then you’ll put those ideas into action during our Executive Notables networking experience. Senior leaders will be stationed throughout the room while participants rotate every few minutes to engage in multiple conversations. This structured networking will give you direct access to accomplished professionals, a chance to practice your approach in real time, and the opportunity to build relationships that could shape your future.

Three experiences in one evening: learn from leaders, develop your own networking strategy, and immediately put it into practice with execs who are there to get to know you, share advice, and answer questions. You’ll leave with practical tools, renewed confidence, and a room full of new allies who can help shape your next career chapter.
