NYC Intern Game Night
NYC Intern Game Night is your chance to break out of the routine and vibe with the most cracked interns and early-career folks in the city.
We're pulling up to the Big Apple with a vibe check like no other 🍎🗽
Skip the awkward intros. Grab a game, sit down, and the convos flow naturally. We’ll have everything from Codenames and Uno to Exploding Kittens, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza (yes, that’s real), and more.
Got a favorite game of your own? Bring it — we’re always down for surprises.
And between rounds, get ready for a surprise panel featuring speakers who get what it’s like to break into tech right now. No fluff, just real talk.
