Network with Industry
Leaders and Peers

Our hottest networking happy hour events are back for the third year in a row! After two successful fall seasons, we are excited to announce we will be going live from Minneapolis, Cincinnati, and Bentonville this fall!

Join us in one – or all – of the four cities and get ready for a one-of-a-kind mixer event featuring drinks, small bites, entertainment, and most importantly, you! Step away from your screen, catch up with industry friends, and build your network.

If your LinkedIn profile picture or company headshot needs a refresh, take advantage of our headshot booth available throughout the evening at each event.

This is a free event. Registration coming soon.
