What to Expect?
When you arrive, you will settle in and meet the other attendees. The evening will begin with introductions, where you'll share your name, graduation year, and occupation. You will then participate in an icebreaker designed to spark a forward-looking conversation with your group.

After this initial introduction, you're encouraged to continue conversations that spark your curiosity, follow up with someone you’d like to get to know better and let the night unfold naturally.
