YLS presents Networking Over Nashville

Get ready for a high-energy evening of conversation, community, and connection!

Join us October 23 from 5–7 p.m. at The Westin Nashville for Networking Over Nashville, an exclusive speed networking event with some of the city's most influential changemakers — including United Way’s Board of Trustees, top business leaders, and fellow members of the Young Leaders Society.

Enjoy complimentary beer, wine, and hors d'oeuvres as you make meaningful connections with professionals who share your passion for creating a stronger, more vibrant community.

New this year: We’re proud to partner with UpRise Nashville—a free career training program that equips participants with the skills and certifications needed to secure higher-paying jobs at established Nashville companies in as little as 10 weeks. Their Executive Director, Carole Peterson, will share remarks during the program and serve as a Table Host. At ticket checkout, you’ll have the chance to sponsor an UpRise Leader to attend Networking Over Nashville at no cost!

Whether you're looking to grow your network, spark ideas, or get inspired to make a difference — this is the place to be. Spots are limited — reserve yours today!
