At the start of the event, attendees were presented with a name tag and gift bag at the registration table. They were then lead to a meeting area for mingling while the panelist room is being set up. Once everything was ready, everyone was seated for a wonderful and very inspirational keynote presentation, "Embrace the Struggle" from Narges Nirumvala, the CEO of Executive Speak. She talked about her life and how her falling eventually lead to her triumph. She gave tips on how to achieve success and how positivity and support is crucial to one's path on accomplishing goals. Her speech was very motivating for everyone in the room and she encouraged many people to use social media throughout the event.
After Narges' presentation, the speed networking event began. Students were given 20 minutes at each table and students were given a chance to talk to 5 professionals. There was an hour-long break during the middle where students and panelists were given the chance to talk one-on-one in a cocktail-setting. Lumisense Photography photographed the entire event and we have some beautiful photos to show!
