MN IFT NetWorks: Networking Events for Members!
Get more from your IFT membership by participating in a networking event (a lunch, breakfast or other gathering). Happening every month between October and next May, events will be hosted by a member of the MNIFT Executive Committee. Each one will be a small, informal event to help members connect and get to know each other better. The organizing committee will be working behind the scenes to keep the groups small (approximately 10 participants per event) and as diverse as possible, so that members will be more likely to meet people they don't know very well. Because of the limitations, not everyone who signs up for an event might be able to participate!
Event host names, dates and locations are listed below. To attend an event, you must be a registered member of the MN IFT. If you are not currently a member, please signup using our secure registration site join MN IFT.
All attendees to the NetWorks events must pre-register online… no "walk-ins" can be accommodated. You pay just $5 for each event. MNIFT picks up the rest of the cost, as a member benefit.
Events will be posted a month or more before they are scheduled, so keep checking back to find one that works for your schedule. As your event approaches, you will get an email reminder from your host. Nothing else is required - just show up for some interesting conversation and to meet some new faces. Please note that there are no refunds for no-shows and cancellations!
