WIMnet NSW: Hunter Region Roulette Networking event
Bring a friend and join the Hunter WIMnet’s popular Roulette Network Event for Women and Men in Mining and Industry in the Hunter.
The third of a series of Networking Events is being held at the Muswellbrook RSL Club in Muswellbrook on Tuesday, 17 September 2024
These events are set up with the 'Roulette’ theme. We will have a series of tables or ‘stations’ which the attendees can moved between. Each station will be set up with a numbered question card, where the host of the evening can draw a number which will be the number on the card those at the table will discuss. The question cards will have a series of questions or topics geared toward allowing the participants to get to know each other and to inspire inclusion.
The aim of having this structure is to promote fun while relaxing the participants and providing them the opportunity to network without having the pressure of approaching a stranger to start a conversation as we will be starting the conversation for them.
The event will be catered with drinks and finger food to keep it relaxed and informal.
Venue: Muswellbrook RSL Club,113 Bridge Street, Muswellbrook NSW 2333
Date: Tuesday, 17 September 2024
Time: 4.30pm - 6.30pm
