Healthy Networking & Real Leadership Conversations

Start 2026 off right with an evening built for leaders who value connection, clarity, and good conversation.

This isn’t your typical networking mixer. It’s a space for real people to connect, enjoy great refreshments, and share leadership insights in a beautiful setting. Velvet Vine’s warm, stylish atmosphere on the downtown Las Vegas strip makes it an ideal backdrop for building relationships that matter.

What to Expect

Healthy Networking

Come ready to engage in thoughtful conversation. We’ll keep it easygoing — no pressure, no hard pitches — just leaders connecting over drinks and shared experiences. A cash bar and refreshments will be available throughout the evening so you can relax, mingle, and enjoy the vibe.

The Two Minute Drill

The centerpiece of the night is our Two Minute Drill, a lively 20-minute spotlight session where a curated group of impressive local leaders each take two minutes to share:

• What leadership means to them in 2026
• One piece of advice they’d give to the community

This rapid-fire format keeps things dynamic and gives everyone a quick burst of real-world leadership perspective from a variety of voices across Las Vegas.

Why Attend

2026 is shaping up to be a year of growth, challenge, and opportunity for leaders in our community. This event is intentionally designed to help you:
• Connect with peers and local influencers
• Get fresh leadership insights you can take straight back to your work, team, or organization
• Expand your circle in a setting that feels fun and relaxed

Whether you’re a business owner, an executive, a rising professional, or someone who simply cares about leadership and community, you’ll find value in this night of good people, good conversation, and a strong start to the year.

We’re proud to host this event through the Las Vegas Leadership Meetup and Dale Carnegie Nevada — bringing together community and conversation that leaves you inspired.
