Real Connections. Real Conversations. Real Community.
IXI’s Downtime Networking is a relaxed, come-as-you-are gathering for professionals who value authentic relationships over formal agendas. It’s a space to unwind, reconnect, and build meaningful connections in a welcoming, no-pressure environment.
About Downtime Networking
Held on the Second Thursday of every month at Hopkins Farm Brewery, IXI’s Downtime Networking brings together professionals, community members, and nonprofit leaders for an evening of conversation, collaboration, and community impact.
IXI’s Downtime Networking is also the host of NANA Susquehanna’s Monthly Happy Hour!
Each month features a NANA Susquehanna nonprofit spotlight, giving attendees the opportunity to learn about organizations making a difference and discover ways to get involved or offer support.
You do not need to be a NANA member to attend. There are no fees, no formal sign-ups, and no industry restrictions – just good people, great conversations, and a relaxed atmosphere.
