Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:30:00 GMT

The KSPE Eastern Chapter and MSPE Western Chapter invite you to participate in an interactive lunch-and-learn focused on building strong business relationships at after-hours and professional networking events.

Many engineers attend networking events but struggle with how to start conversations, maintain meaningful dialogue, and follow up in a way that leads to lasting professional connections. This session will focus on practical soft skills that help you confidently navigate social settings, make authentic connections, and represent yourself and your firm effectively.

Our speaker, Dennis Burns, President of Pulse Design Group, will share insights drawn from his experience working with professionals on communication, branding, and relationship-building. Attendees can expect a mix of presentation, discussion, and real-world examples that can be applied immediately at conferences, society events, and client functions.

This session is ideal for professionals at all career stages who want to strengthen their networking confidence and get more value out of industry events.
