ENJOY LGBT NETWORKING WITH THE PEOPLE WHO INVENTED IT. BRING A FRIEND, FREE!
On Wednesday, October 3, Out Professionals welcomes you and a friend to OP.LOUNGE, our pioneering networking series. The scene? Industry, 4000 square feet of tough chic in Hell's Kitchen.
To gift a friend with free admission, just pre-register the new name and e-address along with your own.
Talking in person is extremely powerful. Here's why it's so important to network face-to-face:
- 85% of jobs are filled through networking
- 72% of people say someone’s appearance and handshake impacts their impression
- 68% of entry-level professionals rate face-to-face networking higher than online networking
- 41% percent of those who network would like to network more often
On Wednesday, October 3, experience the power of Out Professionals networking at Happy Hour prices.
