What a great night we had at our January After Six Mix! Some of us were pool sharks and some of us guppies, but all had a blast networking over the billiards tables. Slate shone with some delicious appetizers and specialty drinks. With more than 40 attendees and plenty of new faces, connections were made. The next time you’re searching for a unique event space for team interaction, check this hot spot out. Save the date for our next After Six Mix on March 11. Location will be announced shortly.
