Speed Networking with Purpose: Celebrating What We Bring to the Table
Event overview:
Join us for a dynamic and meaningful speed networking experience hosted by PV Women’s Network. This isn’t about “working the room”, it’s about building real, reciprocal relationships that empower and inspire.
Through breakout rounds guided by certified coach and consultant, Gina Alexandris, we’ll explore:
- Owning Your Value – Reflect on your strengths and learn how to communicate them with confidence.
- Growing Your Impact & Visibility – Discover ways to amplify your contributions and be seen.
- Building Meaningful and Reciprocal Relationships – Build supportive, authentic relationships that go beyond the event.
Whether you’re new to networking or a seasoned connector, this event is designed to help you show up, stand out, and support others.
