Kick off your morning with a dynamic blend of great food and even better connections. Our signature speed networking format gives you the chance to meet a variety of DC- area professionals, exchange business cards, and build valuable relationships – all before your workday begins.

For June, we’re thrilled to partner with the Equality Chamber of Commerce, a driving force for LGBTQIA+ economic empowerment in the DMV. ECCDC supports queer-owned businesses, uplifts professionals of all identities, and advocates for those who have faced systemic barriers in the workplace and marketplace.

By attending this month’s event, you’re helping advance that mission, showing up for the LGBTQIA+ business community, and putting allyship into action. Together, we can build a more inclusive community — one meaningful connection at a time.
