Join us on Thursday, September 4th from 2–3 PM ET for a vibrant hour of intentional networking, authentic visibility, and plenty of “omg, same!” moments with fellow 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs and changemakers. This session will be hosted by the one and only Andrew ACE Edwards of DesignACE.

Expand your horizons and connect with others in the CGLCC network, including certified suppliers, corporate partners, rainbow registered members & national associate members. This informal chat facilitates networking and brings together people from different memberships.

Whether you’re coming to share a new idea, find your next creative partner, or just want to vibe in community, this space is for you. Expect meaningful intros, playful conversation starters, and room to celebrate your wins and share what you’re working on. Think: the energy of speed networking with the depth of a heart-to-heart.

What to expect:
One-on-one speed networking: We’re keeping things lively with structured, personal convos, think real connections, not small talk. We’ve scoped out a few fun, interactive platforms for this (see the attached Toolkit!).
Group “Ask & Offer” session: Bring your big ask to the group and offer up a resource, skill, or connection in return. It’s all about building a community that lifts while it climbs.
