Net Etiquette Workshop

Connect. Communicate. Build Your Network.

Tuesday, September 22, 2026

Columbus, Ohio

Time and Venue To Be Announced

Networking Is More Than Making Connections

The Net Etiquette Workshop is designed to empower students with the essential soft skills required to thrive in professional circles. This experience goes beyond simple introductions, challenging participants to consider how they present themselves and communicate their value to others accurately and authentically. Participants will explore the core pillars of networking, professional communication, personal presentation, relationship building, and navigating diverse professional environments with confidence.

Throughout the workshop, students will engage in practical exercises that translate directly to real-world scenarios. We emphasize that networking is a continuous practice of building trust and mutual benefit, rather than a transactional exchange of contact information. By understanding the nuances of professional decorum and effective dialogue, attendees learn to transform brief encounters into meaningful professional relationships that can last a lifetime.

The skills gained in this workshop are universally applicable and will serve participants throughout their college journeys, internships, early career pursuits, and long-term professional lives. Whether you are preparing for your first major career fair or looking to strengthen your presence in existing community partnerships, this session provides a supportive environment to refine your readiness for the next steps in your professional development.
