WHAT IS A SECRET NETWORKING EVENT?
This event is the perfect opportunity to network with potential business partners, investors, industry professionals and new clients.... Or just come on out and make some new friends! We've witnessed countless business connections and friendships form at our past events. Secret Networking Social is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people network in NYC. It is a fun and easy way to connect with others in a relaxed, low pressure environment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: WE WILL HAVE MULTIPLE INDUSTRIES AT THIS EVENT. THE MAGIC OF THE EVENT IS THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND THE OTHERS INTERESTED IN THE SAME TOPIC/INDUSTRY AS YOU BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME SECRET SYMBOL AS YOU. FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE IN THE FINANCE INDUSTRY MIGHT HAVE A STAR AS THEIR SECRET SYMBOL, THOSE IN THE TECH INDUSTRY MIGHT HAVE A SQUARE WITH A DOT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AS THEIR SECRET, SYMBOL, ETC... IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN FEEL FREE TO MINGLE AND CONNECT WITH EVERYONE AT THE EVENT FROM ANY INDUSTRY BUT YOU'LL EASILY BE ABLE TO LOCATE LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME SECRET SYMBOL AS YOURS!

SECRET SYMBOL
After signing up you will get an email from us with a "secret symbol" that will let the other attendees know you're part of the event. We will email you a printable paper bracelet template with your secret symbol on it (SEE IMAGE BELOW TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT WE MEAN). If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw that secret symbol on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event.
Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. Our host will quickly check you in, make sure you're wearing your correct secret symbol and hand you our fun and easy optional icebreaker. (The venue is not directly involved with planning or running the event so please don't ask their staff questions... Instead ask our event host if you have questions). Then you'll simply look for other people with the secret symbol on their hand to know they're also part of the networking event. There are no speakers or sales pitches. It's just a place to come mingle with like minded people.
ICEBREAKERS TO WIN A $50 AMAZON GIFT CARD!
At the beginning of the event our host will hand you a sheet of paper with icebreaker questions that you can use to get to know the rest of the people at the event. The icebreakers are optional but most people love them because they really help you get to meet people. In the email we send you before the event we'll explain exactly how the icebreaker works but essentially you'll be asking and/or being asked 3 fun and easy but thought provoking icebreaker questions. If you complete the icebreaker you'll be entered into a raffle and one of the event attendees will win a $50 Amazon gift card!
An email we received about one of our recent events: "Thank you so much for throwing such a great event. The crowd was really great and everyone was super friendly. As a busy professional I don't get that much time to get out and meet people so it was nice to be in such a relaxed environment. Event well done!" - Danielle
