ATL Networking Guide
Finish the Month Strong
Hey!
Hoping this email finds you well during the winter storm! Make sure to double check any event you have lined up for this week to make sure it wasn’t cancelled due to the weather. Looking forward to seeing some of you this Wednesday at After Hours for a serious networking and good conversations. I want to share a quick tip because I receive the question “which networking event should I attend” often enough. And my answer always starts with, what are you looking to gain from the event? Who do you want to meet? What industry are they in? Where do they frequent the most? How much do you want to spend? These events are not cheap!
Asking yourself these questions keeps your networking intentional and aligned with your goal. At the end of the day two people can go to the same event with two goals and have two separate experiences. So when you are going through this long a** list be sure to ask yourself if this event will likely help me reach my goal. Be intentional with your time and here are this week’s announcements.
The Space:
I have updated the business grants and leadership programs page. Both pages are worth reviewing, and several of the programs have upcoming application deadlines.
You’ll notice that some event locations now list only the city. This update is meant to make it easier to quickly tell whether an event is nearby, especially for those new to the city. I’ve also separated galas and charitable events from luncheons and dinners to improve organization and make the list easier to scan.
The newsletter is still fully viewable with all events listed until the paywall goes live next month, just as a heads up. Share the newsletter with a friend today!
Random Fact: According to Nasa’s scientific simulations (corroborated by remote robots on the planet’s surface), during the summer in the north of Mars there may well be sudden, violent snow storms. Click here if you want to dive in deeper.
Join Atlanta’s next generation of leaders for an unforgettable night at CrossTies, the annual signature event hosted by Grady Young Professionals!
Enjoy live music, open bar and light bites, and great company, all set against incredible views including the iconic beluga whales! Every moment supports Grady’s mission to provide compassionate, quality healthcare for everyone who calls Atlanta home and to help build a healthier city for all.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of the party of the year; get your tickets today!
