Host an APTNE Connect Event
APTNE Connect is a monthly meetup bringing members, colleagues, and friends together for informal opportunities to meet and network.
Host an APTNE Connect event at your office or another venue and create an experience that fits your firm or organization. Keep it casual with a happy hour or meet-and-greet, or showcase your work with a presentation, office tour, or discussion highlighting a current or past project.
APTNE provides a stipend to help offset the cost of refreshments and other event expenses, making it easy to bring colleagues together and create meaningful connections.
