Join us for an evening of connection and confidence-building at the CNC Networking Mixer , a welcoming event where professionals and job seekers come together to grow their networks in a relaxed, supportive environment. The networking mixer is FREE to attend (cash bar) , making it a great opportunity to meet new contacts and strengthen existing relationships.

Want to elevate your professional presence while you’re there? Optional professional headshots will be available to help you put your best face forward. Your LinkedIn photo shouldn’t be a cropped group picture or a last-minute selfie. First impressions matter, especially when recruiters are scrolling quickly through profiles. A clean, professional headshot boosts your credibility, strengthens your personal brand, and helps you stand out in today’s competitive job market. Participants who purchase headshots will receive two professionally edited images that can be used on LinkedIn, resumes, company websites, and other professional platforms.
