Learn More About Endeavor Events
From annual events like Trailblazers to socials at local venues, Endeavor seeks to connect, inspire and engage young professionals through networking, learning and getting involved in the community. Here is a closer look at Endeavor events that inspire young professionals to engage with one another and develop professionally.
Lunch & Learn
On the third Friday of every month, Endeavor holds a Lunch & Learn. At a Lunch & Learn, young professionals will hear from speakers on topics such as professional development, business growth, community development and so much more. Enjoy a catered meal, network with other young professionals and dive into new topics and opportunities to learn about being a young professional.
Socials
Endeavor young professionals love to make connections. While connections can be made at any Endeavor event, socials are a great way to kick back, relax and network with like-minded individuals. Socials can span from paddling on the Chain of Lakes with friends or enjoying a refreshing beverage at Grove Roots Brewing Co. while playing life size Connect 4. Through these socials young professionals are given the opportunity to get to know one another professionally and personally.
