After-Hours Networking | Washington Business Week Celebration

Join us for a special After-Hours Networking event celebrating Washington Business Week, in partnership with Renton Technical College.

This energetic evening brings together Chamber members, educators, business leaders, and emerging young entrepreneurs for meaningful connection, mentorship, and professional development.

5:00–6:00 p.m. | Focused Student Networking

During the first hour, attendees will participate in structured networking with Washington Business Week students. Your participation will give these future business leaders the opportunity to practice introducing themselves, sharing their ideas, asking thoughtful questions, and building confidence in a professional setting.

By simply engaging in conversation and sharing your experience, you can help students learn how to build relationships, communicate professionally, and grow the networking skills they will carry into college, the workforce, and future business ventures.

6:00–7:00 p.m. | After-Hours Networking

Following the student networking session, stay for a relaxed and unstructured After-Hours gathering with fellow Chamber members, educators, community partners, and business professionals.

 

This event gives you the opportunity to:

• Help develop and inspire future business leaders
• Mentor young entrepreneurs through real-world conversation
• Build valuable relationships across industries
• Connect with educators and workforce-development partners
• Exchange ideas with professionals from throughout the region
• Discover new opportunities for collaboration and community impact

Business networking remains one of the Chamber’s most valuable member benefits. This event offers the added opportunity to strengthen your own professional network while helping the next generation learn how meaningful business relationships are built.

Bring your business cards, invite a colleague, and join us for an inspiring evening of connection, mentorship, workforce development, and community.
