IFT’s Women Resource Group and the Chicago Section of IFT are joining forces to host an in-person cocktail hour aimed at empowering women to confidently spark conversations, make positive first impressions, build stronger relationships, and foster community.

There are few things more intimidating than walking into a room (or logging into a Zoom meeting) of people you don’t know, even for the most extroverted person.

Yet the ability to start and engage in meaningful conversations with new acquaintances can have a profound impact on your personal brand and the trajectory of your career.
