Evening of Networking: Qawmena + Friends

Our signature networking evening is back on Thursday, October 29th, with a twist! 

Most of us found this community through an introduction. Someone thought of us and said "you should come." This edition is about passing that on. Bring a colleague, a friend, or someone you keep meaning to introduce to this crowd, and join 150 SWANA* professionals from across industries for an evening of curated networking, good music, and light bites.

Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, you're welcome.

*SWANA: Reclaiming our identity, SWANA is a decolonial term for MENA. It includes Arabs, Persians, Kurds, Turks, Assyrians, and more.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

• A room worth being in. Meet SWANA professionals across tech, finance, consulting, arts and culture, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and more.
• New faces, not the same circle. With every guest bringing someone new, half the room will be people you haven't met yet.
• Conversations that go somewhere. This isn't surface-level networking. We curate the evening so you find the people you should know, and leave with introductions that turn into collaborations, opportunities, mentors, and friendships.
• Ambition and belonging in the same space. A welcoming, community-rooted evening where you don't have to explain where you're from or leave part of yourself at the door.

NOTE: Photos and video will be taken at this event. If you'd prefer not to be photographed, please let Salmaa know ahead of the event.
