​Slovak PRO presents: New York Beginnings

​An evening of stories, connections, and fresh starts in the Big Apple

​New York has always been a city of beginnings. Some come here to start their careers, others to reinvent themselves, and many to carry the city’s energy with them wherever they go.

​New York Beginnings brings together Slovak professionals and friends of our community to share experiences of starting out in New York - what it means to arrive, to build, to leave, and sometimes to return.

​The evening will feature personal stories, practical insights, and candid reflections from Slovaks whose paths began in New York and continue to shape their lives and careers.

​Alongside the program, you’ll have the chance to meet fellow professionals, enjoy light refreshments, and connect with others navigating new chapters in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
