🤝 Real connections in a disconnected world.
If you’ve ever left a networking event thinking, “Why did I even bother to come?" — this is your sign to try something different.
Off the Record is a candid panel + networking mixer for people who want real conversations, intentional connections, and zero fake vibes.
We’re bringing together professionals who’ve navigated the uncomfortable — from anxiety and awkward intros to cross-cultural disconnects and inappropriate questions. You’ll hear how they handled it, what they wish they knew sooner, and how they now approach networking with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
Here’s what’s in store for you:
🗣️ Unfiltered Panel Conversation
No fluff, no filters — just real talk from 3 professionals who’ve learned how to network on their own terms. We'll even pull the curtains back on strategies to navigate social anxiety and show up with confidence.
💡 Actionable Takeaways
Walk away with practical strategies to
- Transform networking from something you endure into something that genuinely serves your professional and personal growth
- Gain strategies for building genuine connections across cultural differences, moving from uncertainty about "saying the wrong thing" to curiosity about learning from others
- Learn how to gracefully exit uncomfortable conversations without burning bridges, so you feel empowered rather than trapped in awkward situations
🤝 Intentional Mingling Post Panel
No cold pitches. No cliques. Just thoughtful conversation with people who get it.
Light bites (halal) will be served. Stay after the panel discussion, where there will be space to breathe, chat, and connect without pressure.
👕 Dress Code: Whatever makes you feel confident. Come as you are.
