WHAT TO EXPECT
Built to Last: The Real Foundations of a Resilient Career offers a rare opportunity to hear from two accomplished professionals who have built credibility in very different environments, one within a globally recognized organization and the other as an entrepreneur building a brand from the ground up.
Rather than focusing on generic tips, the session pulls back the curtain on what actually sustains long-term success: how to build trust, navigate pressure, develop a strong professional presence, and adapt as your career evolves. Attendees will gain practical, real-world insights they can apply immediately, whether they are early in their careers or looking to grow into their next stage.
What makes this experience especially engaging is the intentional structure of the evening. Guided networking prompts will help attendees move beyond small talk and into more meaningful, authentic conversations, making it easier to connect with others in a way that feels natural and valuable.
This is an event for young professionals who want more than just connections, they want clarity, confidence, and tools to build a career that lasts.
Light appetizers and DIY dirty soda bar will be provided.
