The Meridian Group - The Winter Close Issue

### The Meridian Winter Close A curated evening for ambitious young Black professionals in NYC, built around community, culture, and organic connection. Low-lit, elevated, and energy-filled, The Meridian brings the right people into the right room with the city skyline as the backdrop. This is not a conference, panel, or forced networking event. No lanyards, no name tags, no awkward icebreakers. **Kick off the night with an open bar for the first hour**, then settle in for good music, great energy, cocktails, conversation, and a crowd that feels like your people. Come to reconnect, meet new faces, and celebrate winter with people building lives, careers, and community in New York. You may leave with new friends, a potential collaborator, or maybe even a situationship...but either way, you’ll leave feeling more connected.
