Community is at the heart of progress, especially when it comes to elevating those who share our values. We believe the workplace should be a space where we support each other’s success and help shape industries to better reflect the needs of our community. To take a step in that direction, we’re excited to invite you to an exclusive event designed to connect mid-career SWANA (Southwest Asian and North African)* professionals in London.

*SWANA: Reclaiming our identity, SWANA is a decolonial term for MENA https://www.arabamerica.com/mena-vs-swana/. This includes Persians, Kurds, Turks, Assyrian etc. 

This will be a unique opportunity to meet up to 150 like-minded individuals, grow your network, and explore new opportunities across key sectors. It will be held at October Gallery, where you can enjoy the new exhibit from an Afro Brazilian artist. There will be music, small bites, and drinks (available for purchase).

What to Expect:

• Expand Your Network – Meet fellow professionals in your industry. This is your chance to connect with peers, find potential collaborators, and grow your network.
• Engage and Share Ideas – We’re crafting the event to ensure real conversations take place. Share your experiences, exchange ideas, and build deeper connections.
• Discover New Opportunities – By interacting with others in a relaxed, creative environment, you'll uncover opportunities that can align with your next career move or projects.

Additionally, there will be curated professional *matchmaking* and shared attendees list to ensure everyone gets the most out of it!

Our goal is to bring the community closer while offering meaningful insights and connections.
Moving upward, together. 

Look forward to seeing you there, and please reach out if you have any questions. If you can't make it, drop your name here for future opportunities to connect: https://forms.gle/moxehfGWSknLpZnK8
