Evening Connectors!
We have arrived at another start to the week! Hoping that the weekend has been a restful weekend leaving you ready to take on the week. I’m on my soap box this week just to remind you to be protective of your time! It feels productive to be everywhere, but if it’s not aligned with your goals or the people you actually need to meet…it’s just busy work dressed up as networking. Your time is precious, it’s literally a resource we will never get back. So this upcoming month I challenge you to say no more!
Start being a little more selective. Start asking better questions. Start protecting your time like it actually matters. If the room doesn’t have your ideal client, your industry, or the type of conversations you need… why are you there?
"If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes." — Andrew Carnegie

Random Fact: The football huddle was invented in 1894 by Paul D. Hubbard, a deaf quarterback at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.. Hubbard initiated the practice to prevent opposing teams from stealing their plays, which were being communicated via American Sign Language (ASL).
Tech Catalyst Summit has been building something special in Atlanta’s tech executive community, and the Rooftop Social on April 30th is your chance to experience it firsthand. Join a curated room of Senior Managers, Directors, CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, and tech leaders for an evening of real conversations, rooftop views, open bar, and meaningful connections. Every ticket also supports Evolution Arts, a nonprofit bridging technology, the arts, and workforce development for Atlanta’s youth through partnerships with the Boys & Girls Club, City of Atlanta Parks & Rec, and local high schools.

Most networking events feel the same… 😅 crowded rooms, surface-level convos, and you leave wondering what you actually gained. This one flips that. 🎨
The Art of Connecting is built around intentional networking, bringing together a group of professionals who are there to build real relationships 🤝 not just trade business cards. With a balanced mix of industries, a thoughtfully designed environment, and a focus on quality conversations, this is the kind of room where connections don’t just start… they actually lead somewhere 🚀
If you’ve been saying you need better rooms, not more rooms… this is your move 👀
