The next generation of PR, marketing, and communications leaders descended to the restaurant's lounge for an evening of networking and connection with like-minded peers. DJ Flash kept the energy high with the perfect soundtrack while guests sipped on cocktails featuring Grey Goose Vodka and Bombay Sapphire Gin, along with Prescription Vineyards Wines.

The evening was hosted by a committee including:

• Sophie Andreesen, PR Manager, Celine

With its signature in-person networking events to date, The PR Net has gathered leadership-level executives, pairing senior executives for connection and collaboration. This new program provides opportunities for younger industry professionals to meet peers across sectors and build their networks and a relaxed setting.
