Question 1

What should I expect?

Accepted Answer

You can expect NEW to go however you want it to. If you want to engage and meet a bunch of new people, you can do that! If you want to keep a low profile, you can come and watch the presentation and skip out after. If you want even more socialization, hang out after when we grab a bite (most months)

Question 2

What do I wear?

Accepted Answer

Anything works. Some people come from work so they are business formal or casual. Others are in a sweatshirt and jeans. Up to you!

Question 3

Are you going to try to sell me something?

Accepted Answer

No. We are young professionals, we don't have money.

Question 4

What age qualifies as a young professional?

Accepted Answer

Anyone that will soon enter the workforce, has recently started their career, or maybe is a few years in. We won't turn you away because of age, but most people at NEW are between 20-30 years old.

Question 5

What if I don't know anyone?

Accepted Answer

We understand it can feel overwhelming to enter a room and not know anyone. We have multiple systems in place for whatever is comfortable for you. We have people who will come greet you,  get to know you, and introduce you to others. Or you can also just go chill out at a table if you want.

Question 6

Can I invite a friend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Please do. It is free. We have free food. We laugh a lot.
