The Art of Networking - Facilitated Connections & Open Networking
The Art of Networking: Facilitated Connections & Open Networking
Networking doesn't have to feel like networking.
Join NAAAP Connecticut for an afternoon built around real connection — the kind that happens when you've got something interesting to talk about and a room full of people who are genuinely curious to learn from one another.
We'll begin with a brief introduction to the TIARA Framework. We'll then put the framework into practice through facilitated networking activities designed to help attendees connect naturally and confidently. Using guided prompts and conversation starters, you'll meet fellow professionals in a way that goes beyond the usual "What do you do?" exchange.
After the facilitated portion, the room takes over. Grab an appetizer, continue conversations, and build new connections during open networking. Complimentary appetizers will be provided, and a cash bar will be available for those who would like to purchase beverages.
Whether you're new to NAAAP or a familiar face, this event is designed to feel less like a networking obligation and more like a great conversation you didn't know you needed.
