Networking events
with the right people.

Mixers, executive dinners, receptions, and industry roundtables, planned around who needs to meet whom.

A good networking event is not a crowd. It is the right introductions.

Modern Client plans and hosts networking events for companies and industry groups anywhere in the U.S.

Chapter 01 · Networking Events
The Approach

Built for
real conversations.

Most networking events leave people standing near the bar, talking to the colleagues they came with.

We plan networking events the other way around: start with who should be in the room and why, then design the venue, the format, and the flow of the evening so the right conversations actually happen.

Fewer business cards, more relationships that last past the evening.

Chapter 02 · What We Handle
Start to Finish

The room,
and who’s in it.

Everything from the guest list to the follow-up.

Common Questions
Answered Plainly

Frequently
asked.

01What makes a networking event successful?

The guest list. A successful networking event starts with the right mix of people and a format, like a seated dinner or facilitated roundtable, that makes real conversation easy.

02Can you plan a dinner or reception during a conference?

Yes. Conference side events are one of the most effective ways to stand out at a big industry event. We find the venue, handle invitations, and host the evening.

03Do you help with the guest list?

Yes. We help you decide who to invite and why, manage invitations and RSVPs, and plan seating and introductions.

04How many guests can a networking event have?

Anything from an intimate dinner for a dozen to a reception for several hundred. The format is chosen to fit the size.

05Where can you host networking events?

Anywhere in the United States, from your home city to the city where your industry's next conference is held.
