About this event
If you care about climate action and want to meet people who are building, organizing, and collaborating around social impact, this mixer is designed for you. Powering Purpose: A Social Impact Mixer by Climate Cardinals x monday.com brings together mission-driven people in New York for an in-person evening of conversation, connection, and practical inspiration. Whether you work in climate, volunteer in your community, or are simply looking for a stronger way to connect your career and values, this is a room worth being in. Expect thoughtful networking, grounded conversations, and the chance to leave with new relationships that can carry beyond a single evening. About the Event This event is a social impact mixer centered on the intersection of climate, community, and collaboration. Hosted by Climate Cardinals and monday.com, it creates space for people who care about purpose-driven work to meet face to face, exchange ideas, and explore how different skills and perspectives can contribute to meaningful change. At its core, the event is about building a stronger network around shared goals. Climate and social impact work can often feel fragmented across sectors, roles, and communities. A mixer like this helps close that gap by bringing people into one room where conversations can move quickly from introductions to ideas, opportunities, and potential partnerships. Because the format is a mixer, the emphasis is on accessible, human interaction rather than passive attendance. You do not need to arrive with a polished pitch or a perfectly defined project. What matters most is that you care about impact, are open to meeting others, and want to be part of a community that takes action seriously. What to Expect The evening is structured around in-person networking and community-building. You can expect a welcoming environment where attendees have time to circulate, introduce themselves, and have real conversations about their work, interests, and the issues they care about most. A social impact mixer like this typically works best when there is a balance of openness and intention, so come ready to both meet new people and go deeper than surface-level small talk. Conversations may range from climate communication and community organizing to mission-driven careers, cross-sector collaboration, and the everyday challenges of turning good intentions into practical work. You can likely expect the evening to include moments such as: Open networking with other attendees across climate, social impact, community, and adjacent fields Introductions and informal conversation about projects, ideas, and opportunities Space to exchange perspectives on what effective impact work looks like in practice Organic relationship-building that may lead to future collaborations, mentorship, or community involvement This is not the kind of event where you sit quietly on the sidelines and leave unchanged. The value comes from participating: asking questions, making introductions, following your curiosity, and being generous with what you know. Why Attend The strongest reason to attend is simple: the right room can change what happens next. When people working toward similar goals meet in person, ideas sharpen, opportunities surface, and momentum builds faster. If you have been looking for a more grounded way to connect with others in climate and social impact, this event offers that setting. You may come away with new professional contacts, but the value goes beyond networking in the narrow sense. You can also gain perspective on how others are approaching impact work, where collaboration gaps exist, and how your own experience might be useful in ways you had not considered before. Attending can be especially valuable if you are trying to: Expand your network with people who care about climate and social good Find peers who understand the realities of purpose-driven work Explore collaboration across community, nonprofit, startup, creative, or corporate contexts Reconnect with motivation by spending time with others who are actively engaged Translate your values into action through new conversations and relationships There is also real value in showing up before you feel fully ready. Many meaningful opportunities begin with an introduction, a question, or a conversation that helps clarify where you fit and what you want to build next. Practical Details This is an in-person event in New York, USA, taking place on Tuesday, August 12 at 5:00 PM EDT. The in-person format matters: it gives attendees the chance to build rapport more naturally, have spontaneous conversations, and make stronger first connections than most online events allow. Plan to arrive ready to introduce yourself and engage with a range of people. It can help to think ahead about a few things you might want to share, such as what kind of work you do, what issues you care about, and what kinds of people or ideas you hope to meet. That preparation makes it easier to move from first introductions to meaningful exchange. A few practical ways to get the most out of the evening: Arrive on time so you can settle in and take advantage of the full networking window Be specific when you introduce yourself so others can understand your interests quickly Stay open to unexpected conversations rather than only seeking obvious connections Follow up afterward with the people you genuinely clicked with If you are looking for a climate and social impact event in New York that is both purposeful and approachable, this mixer is a strong place to start. Come ready to meet thoughtful people, share what matters to you, and build connections that could lead somewhere real.
