Mentorship Meetup - Speed Dating Style Networking Event

When: 10/2/2025 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM EST Two drink tickets are included in the registration.

Join us for an engaging evening designed exclusively for the architecture community. Hosted at NoDa Brewing, this event connects practicing architects with emerging professionals and students through a dynamic speed-dating format that makes networking approachable and impactful.        
              
Participants will rotate through a series of short, focused conversations that allow students and emerging professionals to learn directly from experienced architects, while mentors gain valuable insight into the perspectives of the next generation. These structured rounds create opportunities to share advice, discuss career paths, and explore the realities of architectural practice in a variety of settings.     
              
Following the speed networking portion, attendees are encouraged to stay for an informal mixer. This is a chance to continue meaningful conversations, expand on shared interests, and foster connections that may lead to ongoing mentorship and collaboration.                
              
Why Attend?   
Students & Emerging Professionals: Gain career guidance, learn about diverse career paths in architecture, and build your professional network. 
Architects & Mentors: Share your expertise, support the growth of future leaders, and give back to the profession.    
The Community: Strengthen connections within Charlotte's architecture network and contribute to a culture of mentorship.              
              
Whether you are charting your course as a student, advancing your career, or shaping the profession as a mentor, this event is a valuable opportunity to build bridges across generations of architects and strengthen our design community.
