20s & 30s Speed Friending : Emporium + Madrones Monday Night Groove!!

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/y1HmJXrDbN2hDTj4DfWy **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** WOW!! We had a huge turnout last time. So here we go for our sequel ;) Picture this: you walk up to the Emporium on a Monday night for their famous "Industry Night," and see some new faces, some old. Then, you spend an hour in quick one-on-one rounds, meet incredible new people, then you play games with your new friends at the Emporium and if you're wanting to afterwards, we're right next to Madrone's, so we can all go dancing together! Wow what a fun night! So, get ready for an hour of real one-on-one conversations with fellow industry professionals, paired up by the app so you always know exactly who you are talking to next. Then comes the fun part: you walk into the arcade bar and then head over to Madrones for Monday night dancing together. It all happens the same evening, with one shared plan, and everyone going together. By the time the music starts, you've already got a squad to hit the dance floor with. Maybe this becomes your weekly Monday night dancing crew. Maybe it's just a great evening you'll remember. Either way, you're rolling with a crew. Agenda 7:30PM - Check-In Follow the link to complete a quick profile setup on your phone. 7:35PM - 8:55PM - One-on-One Rounds Our app pairs you for focused conversations.
