What do two introverts say to each other at a networking event? "Nice shoes" 😅

If you laughed at that joke, come join us this Saturday at Ji Bei Chuan in Orange with other like minded individuals for a fun networking event.

If you didn't laugh at that joke, then you should definitely come!

You'll check your fear of networking at the door.
You'll come inside for good food and conversation (and AC!)
You'll walk away with a battle-proven framework that you can use repeatedly for any networking event in the future. (and kick that fear away for good because you will learn AND apply the framework right at the event!)

​Networking doesn't have to feel like networking.

​Join NAAAP Connecticut for an afternoon built around real connection — the kind that happens when you've got something interesting to talk about and a room full of people who are genuinely curious to learn from one another.

​We'll begin with a brief introduction to the TIARA Framework. We'll then put the framework into practice through facilitated networking activities designed to help attendees connect naturally and confidently. Using guided prompts and conversation starters, you'll meet fellow professionals in a way that goes beyond the usual "What do you do?" exchange.

​After the facilitated portion, the room takes over. Grab an appetizer, continue conversations, and build new connections during open networking. Complimentary appetizers will be provided, and a cash bar will be available for those who would like to purchase beverages.

​Whether you're new to NAAAP or a familiar face, this event is designed to feel less like a networking obligation and more like a great conversation you didn't know you needed.
