Networking is hard! As two young professionals in the industry we experienced first hand how difficult it can be to meet people in the industry and start developing a network. If you are able to meet folks or attend networking events, it can then be difficult to relate to those in attendance. We wanted to create a space for individuals to informally get together and build relationships.
New to the area? New to the industry? Fresh out of school and not sure what you are doing with your life? Join the club, and commiserate over a beer / beverage with us.
After attending our event(s), we hope that you come away with:
New friends in the industry who can provide support to and advocacy for you!
The confidence to walk into a room full of establish professionals, knowing that you are a networking expert!
A robust network of professionals you can turn to at any point in your career!
When we say 'young professionals', we are referring to anyone with less than 5 years experience in the Data Centers industry or who is under the age of 35. Typically this is going to be folks who are just entering the workforce, but anyone who is new to the industry is welcome to attend. These aren't strict requirements, but more of a guideline to ensure those attending are relatable to the others in attendance.
If you're a young professional, come to one of our events! We have a happy hour every fourth Wednesday of the Month, (check our schedule for details).
If you are not a young professional, but are interested in being a sponsor reach out to us through our email.
All other inquiries can also be directed to our email, and we will do our best to promptly get back to you.
