This event is BYOB: BRING YOUR OWN BESTIE

Join Next Gen Events Collective (NGEC) for our 8th event, a festive holiday party created to help young event professionals connect in a fun and low-pressure environment. For this one, we are going BYOB: Bring Your Own Bestie.

Bring a colleague, friend, partner, boss, or anyone who helps you feel confident and supported. Together, you will experience a night full of movement, laughter, and effortless connection.

Event Highlights

- Holiday-themed partner activities that help you break the ice together.
- Interactive mini games that get you moving around the bar and meeting new people.
- Light social prompts that spark conversations without any pressure.
- A lively, social atmosphere with Chicago’s next generation of event pros.

The more besties in the room, the bigger the pool of people you can connect with. Come ready to mingle, laugh, and celebrate the season with a community of young professionals who understand the industry and want to build real relationships.
