CONNECTED IDEAS
Connected Ideas | August Edition Supporting TBD
Join us for Connected Ideas, a new monthly event series hosted by Connected Know.
Designed for Rochester's rising business leaders, founders, executives, investors, and innovators, Connected Cocktails brings together the people building the future of our region for an evening of meaningful conversation, new connections, and community.
Each month, Connected Ideas will spotlight a Rochester-area nonprofit or community organization doing meaningful work while bringing people together. Whether through volunteering, sports, education, entrepreneurship, technology, the arts, or other community initiatives. We believe the strongest communities are built through connection.
The goal is to use this event series to highlight and support the organizations helping make Rochester a better place to live, work, and grow.
