Ready to meet new people? We are hosting our 5th annual Palentines event online this year! Break out of your bubble and zoom box and join other young professionals for a speed networking event facilitated by Montana’s own Rachel Hicks who specializes in in-person and online experiences. . There will be ice breakers, trivia, games and we’ll explore breakout rooms with prompted questions so that we can break the awkwardness and connect in a more authentic way—we promise it’ll be fun for both introverts and extroverts! Spots will fill up fast so don’t hesitate to sign up. See you on Wednesday, February 17 from 6 to 7:30 PM. This event is free for 2021 HYP members and $5 for non members—BYOB!

Tips and requirements to get the most out of this event:

-We encourage the use of a laptop, desktop or tablet because simply using a phone won't allow you to see everyone in your group and it will limit your experience

-Please have your camera on and directed at you, we want to meet you and that includes seeing your face! Consider placing a lamp next to your computer if the room is too dark or back lit

-Be sure that your zoom app is the most up to date version. Not sure what version you have? Here is how to update https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362233-Upgrade-update-to-the-latest-version

-Have your keyboard free and be ready to engage when the event starts

-Please no multitasking–texting other friends or making dinner can wait :)

-Bring an open mind and be friendly
