Good Evening Connectors,

Happy October! May the ATL weather be kinder to us this month and cool down! And quick announcement for 2027 but the team is putting together the first ever Atlanta Networking Week in late March 2027! It’s a few days built around intentional connections, higher level conversations, and genuinely having fun while meeting like minded people.

So save the date, hopefully you are free! And we are looking for community partners and sponsors to help bring this week to life. If that's you, or you know someone who'd be a great fit, we want to hear from you. More details coming down the road and checkout the announcements in the space.

~ Dre

The Space:

Random Fact: Ancient Athens had a ballot for giving someone a very long timeout. Citizens could vote to exile a powerful political figure for 10 years by scratching their name onto broken pottery called ostraka. The practice, intended to protect democracy from potential tyrants, gave us the word “ostracism.” Which is where we get the word “ostracized” from.

Join Young Professionals of Greater Atlanta and Young Bucks this Wednesday, October 7, at 6 PM at The Westin Buckhead Atlanta for an evening of networking in the heart of Buckhead. Enjoy food and conversation while getting to know professionals from across the city in a welcoming setting that makes it easy to introduce yourself.

Bring a friend or come solo and meet someone new. If you’ve been meaning to expand your circle, this is your invitation to finally put it on the calendar. The follow-up conversations are much better when you can say “great meeting you” instead of “I wish I’d gone.”

Save your spot and join us Wednesday!
