On April 14, SMPS-NY welcomed a fantastic crowd of nearly 40 AEC marketing and business development professionals to Connect + Cocktails, held at Stout NYC. 🎉

From the moment guests arrived, the room was buzzing with energy. The strong turnout created a lively and welcoming atmosphere where both familiar faces and new connections came together with ease. Whether attendees were seasoned SMPS members or joining us for the first time, the evening offered something for everyone.

Throughout the night, conversations flowed as freely as the cocktails 🍹, complemented by a selection of wonderful appetizers from Stout NYC that kept everyone fueled for networking and conversation. Attendees had plenty of opportunities to expand their networks, exchange ideas 💡, and engage in meaningful discussions about trends and challenges shaping the AEC industry today. It was especially exciting to see so many new introductions happening alongside warm reunions 🤝 - a true reflection of the strength and openness of our community.

The relaxed setting made it easy to connect on a more personal level, helping to foster relationships that go beyond business cards and LinkedIn connections. Events like these continue to highlight the value of coming together in person to share insights, support one another, and grow professionally.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a vibrant and successful evening - we’re thrilled to see this level of engagement from our community! 🙌

We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to connect our community. Until then, let’s keep the conversations going - and we hope to see you at our next event! 🥂
