The Digital Economist Virtual Friendsgiving | Around Our Global Table
Pull up a chair. There's room for everyone at our global table.
The Digital Economist invites its global community to a Virtual Friendsgiving—a chance to step away from the usual meetings and professional conversations, reconnect with familiar faces, and get to know one another beyond titles and biographies.
Inspired by the theme Around Our Global Table, this gathering celebrates the relationships, shared experiences, and mutual support that bring our community together.
Bring a favorite meal, snack, drink, or recipe. Come ready to share a story, recognize someone who made a difference this year, and discover new opportunities to support one another.
What's on the Table?
Welcome to the Table
We'll open with a warm welcome as attendees gather from across the world. Bring something to eat or drink and share a little of what's on your table.
Beyond the Bio
Go beyond professional introductions and get to know the people in our community. Exchange stories about hidden talents, unexpected joys, and personal traditions through lighthearted conversation.
Gratitude Across the Network
Take a moment to recognize someone who made a difference this year. Share a message of appreciation for someone who offered support, inspiration, or encouragement, and reflect on meaningful experiences within our community.
Ask and Give
Make space for meaningful connections and mutual support. Share where you could use a helping hand and something you can offer in return, from professional expertise and mentorship to introductions and collaboration.
A Toast to Our Community
Celebrate the connections we've made and the community we've built. Share a wish for the year ahead as we raise a collective toast and capture the moment together.
Reflection
Close the gathering with a moment to reflect on the conversations, shared experiences, and connections that made our time together meaningful.
Come as you are, bring something to share, and make room for good conversation.
