WAVE YPN: Speed Networking

August 20, 2025 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM (CDT)

Description


Join the WAVE Young Professionals Network for their August event, Speed Networking at Baia Della (3 Cheers Catering) on Wednesday, August 20 from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM!! 

Let’s be honest—networking can be awkward. But what if it wasn’t? What if it felt more like happy hour with a purpose? That’s exactly what you’ll get at our next WAVE event. For one evening, we’re giving you the chance to meet other young professionals in a fast-paced, no-pressure setting designed for real connection (and real snacks).

Whether you’re new to the area, plotting your next career move, or just tired of small talk that leads nowhere, this event was built for you. You'll rotate through structured conversations, designed to be short, snappy, and surprisingly effective. It's like dating, but for your career—minus the awkward silences and weird bios.

This event is FREE for WAVE Members. Guests are $25. Attendee registration is limited to 50 guests. Advanced registration is requested.




Key Takeaways

  • Meet 15–20 local young professionals in a single evening
  • Build your network in a fun, low-pressure environment
  • Discover new career connections and community opportunities
  • Enjoy food, drinks, and real conversations that go beyond "So, what do you do?"
