PERSPECTIVE · Sep 2025
People are exhausted with networking events.
Every event promotes “networking.” But really, all they’re doing is carving out time for serendipity — hoping you might meet someone relevant.
That’s not connection. That’s chance.
What people actually want is a highly curated room. And curation is not allowing everyone in. It’s discerning who needs to be there and who doesn’t.
Creating a room that’s already been curated based on the guests’ goals, needs and interests.
Meeting a bunch of random folks isn’t special. Sitting at the table with the aligned 8 people is.
The biggest mistake people make with their events? Letting everyone in.
Networking is dead. Curated connection is in.
