The Second Circle: NYC Networking Happy Hour

This September, join a curated group of high-responsibility leaders and forward-thinking executives for an intimate happy hour in New York City. Together, we’ll explore the value of investing in the “second circle” — the directors and VPs who turn strategy into action and culture into results.

Hosted by The Second Circle Institute, a leadership accelerator and professional network built specifically for these critical yet often overlooked roles.

Special guest Kelly Hoppesch, consultant and former VP, will join to share her sharp perspective on building teams and accelerating careers.

No panels. No pitches. Just real conversation, new connections, and fresh thinking on how (and why) to elevate the leaders who keep businesses moving forward.
