Direct Connect October 2026

Thursday, October 22, 2026 (7:30 AM - 9:00 AM) (CDT)

Description

Join us for the exciting, fast-paced morning networking event, Direct Connect! Our networking format is designed to help you initiate meaningful, strategic conversations within moments of meeting a new connection. We want to help you expand your network through Direct Connect.

How it Works

Participants will take a seat at the assigned table for round one and have 60 seconds to tell the rest of their table about their business. Once each person at the table has had a chance to speak, the table will be open for conversation until the round is complete. The emcee will announce the completion of each round and participants will move to a new table to begin again with a new set of connections. This format allows participants to engage in conversation with more than 20 other attendees and allows for maximum exposure of each business during the event.

Registration and open networking begin at 7:30 a.m., the program starts at 8.
