❤️ BUP Singles Networking Event | Valentine’s Edition ❤️

Join Black Urban Professionals for a Valentine’s themed singles networking event designed to bring together Black professionals who are building their lives, careers, and community in Des Moines.

At BUP, we know that talent stays where connection lives. Creating spaces for real relationships, whether friendships, collaborations, or something more, is a key part of building a city where people feel rooted and choose to stay. This event is about more than networking or dating. It’s about cultivating community, strengthening social ties, and creating the sense of belonging that helps professionals plant roots and thrive here long term.

Expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, intentional connection, and the opportunity to meet other single Black professionals who care about personal growth, community, and the future of our city.

Come solo, bring a friend, and show up as yourself.

📅 February 9
⏰ 5:00 – 7:30 pm
📍 Palms DSM | 1905 Ingersoll Ave

Singles only. Valentine’s vibes encouraged.
