Not your typical networking event!
This event will be facilitated networking, so you can expect some guidance for conversations but in a talk-to-anyone format.
Come to connect authentically with people from all walks of life, whether you’re a designer, scientist, writer, or anything in between.
We’ll dive into conversations that cross boundaries and discover how different fields can inspire new ways of thinking.
Why Attend?
Gain fresh new ideas and a new perspective from brains outside your field (think of it as your new brains trust)
Share experiences: Exchange resources, stories, and tips and access a community of potential collaborators.
Expand your network with like-minded, like-hearted, authentic connections. You never know what new collaboration, project, or perspective could spark from a single conversation.
Celebrate and elevate the power of the Generalists!
Food & Drinks: Food and drink is available for purchase at the bar.
Whether you’re seeking inspiration, new connections, or just a chance to share your story, this meetup is for you. Imagine what you could learn from a designer, a scientist, and a writer—all in the same room.
