IBO April Evening Event

Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 6:00 PM

Bank of Ireland NYC Hub, 140 E 45th Street, 41st Floor, New York

Speed Networking!

Get Ready for Some Organized Chaos

Looking to make meaningful IBO connections fast? Join us for a high-energy, facilitated speed networking session designed to spark conversations and connect you with a wide range of people in the IBO.

This isn’t your typical mingle-and-chat. It’s organized chaos—fast-paced, fun, and full of opportunities to expand your network.

Here’s what to bring:

• Your business cards
• A confident intro
• Your answers to these three questions:
• 1. What’s your favorite thing to do outside of work?
  2. What do you do for a living?
  3. What’s one ask—how can this person help you?

Come ready to connect, share, and walk away with a stronger network.

*NOTE: Due to enhanced security measures at the Bank of Ireland NYC Hub, all IBO meeting attendees must be checked in no later than 6:30 p.m.
