Don’t just gather people.
Help them connect.

Bringing people together—to a team lunch, holiday party, or other social event—is the first step. It encourages interaction. But most interactions don’t move beyond the surface. Real connection happens when you design for it.  

A talk, workshop, or connection event gives you a quick introduction to building connection intentionally — and a chance to experience what that feels like.

Invite ProjectConnect Founder Jessica Gifford to give an engaging, practical, and yes — fun — talk or workshop. You’ll learn why most social events fail to build real connection, and leave with a clear evidence-based framework you can start using immediately.

Looking for something more experiential? A connection event brings people together in small, structured groups with prompts that spark real conversation. Less wondering “who can I talk to” and “what can I talk about” and more “Wow, I never knew that about you” and “I want to know more.”

In just 60-90 minutes participants often leave feeling more connected than they might after months of small talk. It's great as a standalone event, or a low-stakes introduction to the longer ProjectConnect program.
