About BAD at Networking
Does the mere thought of networking make you cringe? Do you break out in a cold sweat at the idea of small talk with strangers? Well, have we got an event for you! Welcome to BAD (Business and Drinks) at Networking, the networking event for people who hate networking events.
Picture this: a chill night in Chattanooga spent amongst your peers, with a drink in hand, and zero pressure to "work the room." This isn’t your typical networking circus where you have to pretend to be interested in yet another elevator pitch. Nope, we’ve tossed the rulebook out the window and replaced it with good vibes and genuine connections.

## What Makes BAD Special?

• Anti-Networking Vibes: This is for the casual networkers, the young professionals, and the local pros who’d rather engage in meaningful conversations than collect a stack of business cards.
• Relaxed Atmosphere: The kind of place where you can be yourself, not your LinkedIn profile.
• No Pressure: Forget the awkward icebreakers and forced mingling. At BAD, you connect when you want to, and chill when you don’t.

## Who Should Attend?

• Young Professionals: Fresh faces looking to make their mark but allergic to traditional networking jargon.
• Casual Networkers: Those who enjoy meeting new people but prefer a more laid-back setting.
• Local Professionals: Chattanooga's finest who are tired of the same old networking scene and are ready for something refreshingly different.

## Why You Should Join Us

BAD is your ticket to making authentic connections without the awkwardness. It's a night to relax, laugh, and maybe even make a valuable contact or two—without feeling like you’re working overtime. Plus, with a drink in hand, everything just feels a little easier, doesn’t it?

Can't join us this time? No worries, this will be a recurring event for the first Tuesday of each month. Assuming this one goes well, I will start scheduling guest speakers for each month.
