Fri, 18 Sept 2026, 14:30
Seattle, United States
Free
Originally organized by Zero to One. Who Should Attend Founders, investors, startup enthusiasts - basically anyone who enjoys talking startups without being trapped in a conference room. Why Walk & Talk? Because networking is better with fresh air and fewer awkward name-tag moments. Meet interesting people while getting your steps in. Have casual conversations that might turn into useful connections, ideas, or opportunities. Take advantage of the beautiful Seattle summer while it’s here. How Does Walk & Talk Work? Pretty simple: Form small groups of 2–4 people, start walking, and chat. Feel free to switch groups along the way. No 30-second elevator pitches required. Agenda 2:30 PM: Meet at the steps near The Infinite Fountain (Right inside from the parking lot.) 2:40 PM: Start walking! We’ll do 3 loops around Downtown Park. 3:20 PM: Reconvene near the steps: Exchange contacts, and stretch your legs. 3:30 PM: Wrap up. A Few Tips for Good Networking Come with an open mind. You never know who you’ll meet. Be kind, respectful, and inclusive. Give before you ask. The best networks are built on generosity. Practice active listening. We have two ears and one mouth let's use them roughly in that proportion. And most importantly: relax. It’s a walk in the park. Venue: Bellevue Downtown Park, Bellevue, Washington, US. Registration is handled by the original organizer. Original event and organizer: https://luma.com/8pdva13j
