About this event
If your best conversations happen after the formal meeting ends, this is your kind of night. Rooftop Executive Mixer Powered by Zillow & Figma brings senior operators, leaders, builders, and connectors together in Atlanta for an evening designed around sharp conversation, high-quality introductions, and a setting that makes it easy to stay awhile. This is not a crowded expo floor or a rigid panel event where everyone listens and few people connect. It’s a focused, in-person mixer built for people who value thoughtful networking, strong peer relationships, and the kind of casual but substantive interactions that can lead to new ideas, partnerships, hires, referrals, and long-term professional relationships. About the Event At its core, this event is a community-driven executive mixer with a social format. The goal is simple: create a room where ambitious, experienced people can meet one another without unnecessary friction. The rooftop setting adds energy and openness, but the real draw is the caliber of conversation that happens when people show up ready to engage. Because it’s powered by Zillow and Figma, the event signals a modern, design-aware, product-minded, and growth-oriented atmosphere. You should expect an audience that appreciates both strategic thinking and practical execution, with conversations likely to span leadership, team building, innovation, product, design, real estate, technology, operations, and the evolving ways companies grow and collaborate. Rather than centering one speaker or a formal presentation, the format leans into connection over performance. That means more time meeting people, less time sitting through content that may or may not be relevant to you. If you prefer events where you can shape your own experience based on who you meet and what you want to explore, this format will feel natural. It’s also intentionally social. That matters. Some of the most useful professional relationships begin in environments where people can talk like humans first and job titles second. This event makes room for exactly that kind of interaction. What to Expect Expect a welcoming, conversational evening with a steady flow of introductions and informal networking. People will arrive ready to mingle, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet new ones across functions, industries, and levels of experience. The atmosphere should feel polished but relaxed: professional enough for meaningful business conversation, comfortable enough for genuine rapport. A typical rhythm for a mixer like this includes: Arrival and check-in, with time to settle in and get oriented Open networking throughout the evening rather than one tightly scripted agenda Organic introductions between attendees with overlapping interests or complementary backgrounds Small-group conversations that can move from light social exchange into more substantive topics A rooftop social setting that encourages people to circulate instead of staying in one place You should come ready to talk about what you’re building, leading, hiring for, investing in, exploring, or rethinking. Some conversations may stay broad and relationship-focused. Others may get specific quickly, especially when shared interests surface around growth, product, design, operations, market trends, or community building. Because the event centers on interaction, your experience will improve if you participate actively. Introduce yourself. Ask thoughtful questions. Be clear about what kinds of people you’d like to meet. The night is likely to reward curiosity, generosity, and a willingness to start the first conversation. Why Attend The biggest value here is access to strong peer conversation in the right environment. When executive-level and high-agency professionals gather in person, useful things happen quickly: you find perspective you didn’t have before, you hear how others are solving familiar problems, and you make connections that are hard to replicate online. This event can be especially valuable if you’re looking to expand beyond your usual circles. Many professionals spend most of their time talking to their own teams, clients, or established networks. A mixer like this opens the door to adjacent industries, fresh thinking, and new relationships that may not have emerged through standard outreach. You may leave with: New professional connections you actually want to stay in touch with Insight into how other leaders think about growth, design, product, operations, or market shifts Potential collaborators, partners, or referral relationships A stronger presence in the Atlanta professional community A refreshing break from transactional networking in favor of more real, useful conversation There’s also simple value in being in the room. In-person events still matter because context travels better face to face: tone, trust, credibility, and chemistry all become easier to read. If you care about relationship-building that goes beyond a LinkedIn connection or a quick email exchange, showing up matters. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Atlanta, USA taking place on Thursday, June 12 at 7:00 PM EDT. As a rooftop mixer, the venue type suggests an evening setting with a more social energy than a conference room event. Plan for a night built around movement, conversation, and meeting multiple people rather than sitting in one spot. Because the event starts in the evening, it’s a good fit for professionals who want to transition from the workday into something more relational and community-oriented. Arriving on time will help you make the most of the room while energy is high and introductions are still forming naturally. A few practical ways to prepare: Bring a concise introduction to who you are and what you do Know what you’re looking for, whether that’s peers, partnerships, talent, ideas, or visibility Dress for a professional social environment appropriate for an evening rooftop setting Come ready to circulate instead of staying only with people you already know If you appreciate well-curated rooms, smart conversation, and networking that feels purposeful without being rigid, this event is worth your time. Atlanta has no shortage of events, but the ones that stand out are the ones where the right people actually talk to each other. That’s the opportunity here.
