Speed Networking Mixer
Get ready to connect, collaborate, and create lasting partnerships!

Dallas Hope Charities invites LGBTQIA+ affirming nonprofits, service providers, and business professionals to our Speed Networking Mixer. Think “speed dating,” but for professional collaboration—this fast-paced evening is designed to help you meet local organizations, share resources, and forge partnerships that strengthen services for the North Texas LGBTQIA+ community, specifically our youth facing housing insecurity.

Event Highlights
Networking Crash Course: Kick off the night with a specialized “crash course” led by Angie Mabry to help you maximize your connections and perfect your elevator pitch.

Meaningful Connections: Engage in structured rounds of conversation designed to help you identify new opportunities for collaboration, resource-sharing, and community impact.

Door Prize Drawings: Enter for a chance to win exciting prizes donated by our community partners! (Must be present to win).

Refreshments: Enjoy light bites and refreshments while you mingle in an affirming, inclusive space.
