5:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Join us for our next edition of Connections & Cocktails featuring the Water Management, Coastal Restoration and Engineering industries!

Connections & Cocktails is a program developed by 504ward to increase networking opportunities for young professionals within and across specific industries. As a relationship driven community, it is essential that the top talent of our region (that’s smart young people like yourselves!) understand each industry’s landscape and key players. 504ward hopes to connect you to those in-the-know in a casual, no commitment environment.

So join us for a drink (beer generously provided by Royal Brewery New Orleans and wine by Martin Wine Cellar) and the opportunity to network with your peers and leaders in the Water Management, Coastal Restoration & Engineering industries! Whether you already work in one of these fields or just want to learn more about them, this event’s for you.
