Speed Networking Lounge: "I'm Almost There": A White Lie Guessing Game
Wednesday April 13, 2022 - 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM

Brief Abstract

We all use little "white lies" (i.e. partial truths) in our lives. Sometimes fun, sometimes obvious, they are nevertheless natural as we navigate human relationships and various social scenarios. Join us for a fun session sharing white lies (and guessing the potential "truths" behind them) and casual dialoguing about their use in our professional lives.

Not sure what to do between sessions or looking for a place to sit back and have some fun with colleagues? Come join us in the Speed Networking Lounge, a reflective and collaborative space where you can recharge your brain (and maybe even recharge your devices). There you’ll find puzzles, games, and activities, as well as new opportunities for “slow networking” to engage in while you chat and get to know people (old and new).
