The Dock Exchange live
What:
Once a month, the people you pass in the hallway, share the coffee pot with, and nod to in the parking lot become something more. Snacks, drinks, prompted question name badges, real conversation. This is where member connections are intentionally made and community is built (minus the rigid networking feel).
When:
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Dock 1053, 3rd Thursday: September 17
Beryl, 2nd Tuesday: September 8
Wake Forest, 1st Tuesday: September 1
