Professionals Networking Happy Hour

As you all remember well, this event used to bring out hundreds of people before COVID. However, it was discontinued last year for obvious reasons. During this unprecedented time we were in lockdowns/confinements and let alone to network we couldn't even stay in touch with our professional friends. We are providing the forum herewith.

All professionals in the DMV and mid-atlantic area are invited! This event is to every and each professional in different industry, sector and specialization to grow, interact, and learn from each other. It is designed to provide a professional environment, to meet other professionals, to broaden one's career. It is also for those interested in careers and are studying or intend to enter the dynamic world of professionalism.

HOW IT WORKS : We will try to assign tables by industry/sector/specialization. However we don't guarantee the availability of a partner in that area. PLEASE BRING BUSINESS CARDS (Hard/Soft).

TICKET PRICE : $15 (will increase soon).

Ticket price includes a Taco AND House Margarita/House Wine/House Beer/Rail Drinks. Cash Bar afterwards (which means you pay as you go). Our signature drink Mer-Tini will be featured too:) Ask your bartenders.
