Event Overview

The events are smaller, focused versions of our annual Networking Reception. Each event features 4-6 professional guests from a single industry. To provide an intimate setting for meaningful networking, space is limited to maintain a guest-to-student ratio of 1:5.

Members of the LSCDS Networking Team will be moderating the discussions. Attendees are encouraged to research their guests and companies in advance to facilitate fruitful conversation. All information is communicated with attendees and guests before the event.

Attendees and professional guests can network freely during the open networking session.
