Bangladeshi Professional Networking Day by MIT-BSA

Bangladeshi Professional Networking Day (BDx Talks) is a one-day event organized in collaboration with the Bangladeshi Students’ Association at MIT. The event will bring together Bangladeshi professionals from the Boston area and across the country. The event will host several moderated panels where speakers discuss their work, their career paths, and their community service, followed by break-out sessions which allow participants to deepen the discussion on selected topics. Networking sessions throughout the day will enable attendees to continue the conversations that start during the panels. The goal of Bangladeshi Professional Networking Day is to build a stronger community of young professionals in the area, provide mentorship opportunities for students, and create connections that will allow participants to advance their professional careers and their personal goals for community service.

The event is free. Registration is mandatory due to limited number of seats. Click here to register.
