Women in Storage Kickoff: Speed Networking

Join us for an engaging, 90-minute virtual kickoff event designed to help  members connect, share experiences, and build confidence in communicating their professional value.

We'll begin with a brief overview of the mission and goals, followed by an interactive speed networking session using Zoom breakout rooms. You'll meet fellow professionals in small groups, exchange stories, and discover new opportunities to connect with others in the storage community.

What to Expect

  • Mission Overview: Learn about our goals and what we hope to accomplish together.
  • Speed Networking: Participate in small-group conversations through Zoom breakout rooms.
  • Guided Conversation Prompts: Practice your professional introduction and share how you got into the storage industry.
  • Continued Connections: Receive an attendee contact list after the event to help you continue networking.

How Speed Networking Works

  • Small Groups: Connect in breakout rooms of 3–5 participants.
  • Quick Rotations: Spend approximately 5 minutes with each group.
  • Conversation Starters: Prepare a 30-second professional introduction and be ready to answer, “How did you get into storage?”

Our goal is to help you articulate your unique value, strengthen your networking confidence, and build meaningful relationships with fellow members.

Come ready to introduce yourself, share your story, and make new connections!
