Different Types of Networking Events: Happy Hour Meet-ups

Happy hour / relaxed after-work drinks are the perfect way to informally network. Both with colleagues and professional contacts. It can also be a great way to meet new people.

These types of events can allow for more of a relaxed atmosphere—making small talk and approaching strangers or people you don’t normally talk to in a simple casual environment.

This sort of casual environment can also mean that you can come and go when you please so if you are caught up at work/running late or need to shoot off earlier it is acceptable due to the unstructured format.
