**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/AYl5dwxivZYMSUitpNwf **FREE for Early Bird | $ Later on** Spend an hour in genuine one-on-one conversations with young professionals in their 20s and 30s you have never met. There is no awkward mingling and no wondering who to approach next. Instead of awkward small talk and exchanging LinkedIn profiles that lead nowhere, you pick your favorite people from the rounds and head out for drinks or dinner as a newly formed group. Same evening. No follow-up texts. No scheduling headaches. Just real conversation that turns into a real plan — with people you already vibe with. By the time the mixer ends, you've got a crew of peers to kick off the holiday weekend with. Maybe this becomes your monthly professional social circle. Maybe it's just a great evening. Either way, you're not doing it alone. Where to meet Outdoor plaza · Meet outside 555 Mission Street Sculpture Garden We meet in the outdoor plaza between Mission and Minna Streets — not inside the building. It is a privately owned public space (POPOS): open to everyone, no entry required. Look for the large sculpture and benches near the building's entrance. **Agenda** ** No Host!
