Our goal is to foster more real, authentic conversations and connections within the social impact community in the DC.

This event is part of the Arc Benders "real talk" road trip. We're hitting the road this summer to travel to different towns and cities to meet people who have changed the world and tell their story. We believe these stories will inspire more people to make a difference. To learn more about the project, you can checkout our indiegogo page here.

We're going to kick things off by having attendees split into small groups & discuss curated questions related to driving change for the first hour. We will be working to cultivate unique, insightful conversations that will help you build new, meaningful relationships. Then for the remainder of the event, we'll take time to relax and network.

This event is targeted towards young professionals that know they want to make a positive impact in some way and want to find a community of like-minded people to support them. However, all professionals committed to finding a way to make a difference are welcome to attend.

This should be a fun & inspiring event that will be a safe place for you to share your authentic story and meet new "Arc Benders."
