CPG Networking Lab Series

Better relationships start with better conversations.

You may know someone you would like to reconnect with and still be unsure what to say. You may want to meet people outside your existing network, prepare for a useful business conversation, or follow up without making every message a request for help.

The CPG Networking Lab Series gives you a place to work on those situations with other experienced CPG professionals.

Four practical, interactive workshops will help you reconnect with existing relationships, establish new connections, have meaningful business conversations, and follow up thoughtfully. Bring a real professional situation. Practice, get peer feedback, and create something you can use.

Live on Zoom | Tuesdays, 3:00–4:30 p.m. Central Time
November 10 and 17 · December 1 and 8, 2026
