May Luncheon: Elevate & Connect Curated Networking (05/07/2026)

Thu, 07 May 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Elevate & Connect: Curated Networking

Networking Luncheon
May 7, 2026 | 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM
Syberg’s Restaurant and Banquet Center
2430 Old Dorsett Road, Maryland Heights, MO 63043

Networking is powerful when it is intentional.

What Is Curated Networking?

Curated networking is a highly intentional approach to connection. Rather than leaving introductions to chance, this experience is designed to place you in the room with women who are most aligned with your goals, challenges, and opportunities.

Prior to the event, each registered guest will complete a brief networking survey. Using this information, Angel Magasano personally curates connections by identifying individuals who would benefit from your services, as well as those whose expertise and insight can support the challenges you are currently navigating. Matches are thoughtfully made to ensure conversations are relevant, strategic, and mutually beneficial.

This luncheon is crafted for women who value meaningful relationships, purposeful collaboration, and elevated conversation. Guided introductions and structured connection points create space for authentic dialogue, allowing you to move beyond surface-level exchanges and into connections that spark growth.

Whether you are seeking referrals, strategic partnerships, fresh perspective, or collaborative opportunities, curated networking ensures your time is spent building relationships that truly matter.

What to expect:
• Curated networking with professional women and business leaders
• Guided connection prompts to spark meaningful conversations
• Intentional seating and facilitated introductions
• Buffet lunch and soft drink included

This luncheon aligns with our monthly theme of Elevate & Connect, reminding us that growth happens faster when we surround ourselves with women who challenge, support, and inspire us. Come ready to be present, be intentional, and build connections that elevate your business and your leadership.
