Networking
Mingle freely on your own or opt to participate in “speed networking.” This round‐robin networking style involves small groups that are rotated so you can more easily meet others and engage in open discussions. You can mingle with other attendees after the networking rounds are over. Regardless of which you choose, use this opportunity to expand both your knowledge base and network of contacts.
Meeting SCORE Mentors
SCORE, a partner resource of the SBA, and Women.NYC’s Digital Office Hours program offer volunteer mentors with decades of industry expertise and experience. Sign up to meet one-on-one with a SCORE mentor on Dec. 6 for free. Find out how she can answer your challenging business questions and help you find focus and achieve your goals.
MacLaren Sienna Forsta Experience

HoloLens Mixed Reality Experience

This AI technology is now being used in education, medicine, manufacturing, construction and engineering to boost productivity and outcomes. A Microsoft team member will demonstrate its capability to you one at a time.
