Hey LEVELUP in NYC Family,

Last week was nothing short of legendary! From watching the Iconic Eve command the stage as Artist in Residence at NYU, to catching vibes and business cards at the NY Black MBA Mixer, to connecting with brilliant minds at the Black ERG Collective event at the Whitney Museum—New York showed out. We even witnessed the brilliance of Governor Wes Moore and Stacey Abrams speaking truth at the National Action Network Convention. Let’s be real: when it comes to networking, New York City is in a league of its own—and it's not even close. This week is shaping up to be just as full, with everything from conferences to curated day parties where ambition meets alignment. Tap in, show up, and stay ready. Start by checking out our featured partner events below—then scroll down for over 50 more upcoming events to LEVELUP your network.
