​ 🗓️ Event Schedule


​6:00 – 6:30 PM | Arrival & Check-In
Grab a name tag (without your job title) and settle in. Icebreaker cards and refreshments will be available as you connect with new faces.


​📸 Headshots will be taken throughout the evening in a designated photo area — so come camera-ready!


​6:30 – 7:00 PM | Event Kickoff & Welcome Speech


​🎤 Host: Taylor Tucker will welcome everyone and share the mission behind The Social Entrepreneur.


​🎙️ Guest Speakers: A panel of local business leaders will briefly share how intentional networking has impacted their personal and professional growth.

​
7:00 – 7:30 PM | Interactive Networking Activities


​🔄 “Speed Networking with a Twist” – Meet 4-5 attendees in short, timed rounds. Instead of “What do you do?” you’ll answer thoughtful prompts like “What’s one lesson that’s shaped your career?” or “What motivates you right now?”


​📝 “Connection Cards” – Each attendee gets a card with a creative networking challenge (e.g., “Find someone in a different industry and brainstorm a way you could collaborate”). It’s a fun way to break the ice and leave with more than just business cards.


​7:30 – 8:00 PM | Open Networking, Headshots & Refreshments
Grab a drink, revisit meaningful conversations, enjoy the food, and snap a few more professional headshots before you go.
​ Bring a friend, colleague, or someone new to the Phoenix business scene — everyone’s welcome!
We can’t wait to connect with you.
