Admingling: A Networking Event Series
One thing that makes the Admin+ profession remarkable is the incredible breadth of experience and skills at play. No two roles are quite the same, which means individuals stand to learn a lot from each other.
Administrative and operations professionals need networking designed for powerful professional community building. One they can always tap into for new insights into career challenges.
OfficeNinjas created Admingling, a networking and learning experience created exclusively for executive assistants, office managers, and workplace operators (aka Admin+ professionals).
Each Admingling event is an opportunity to collaborate with peers through in-depth conversations on career growth and the future of the Admin+ profession.
An unexpected venue, local fare, and tasty drinks help fuel the special mix of brainstorming, idea-sharing, and goal-setting that is Admingling.
The Admingling experience includes:
ample time for meaningful connection and networking through a playful icebreaker
deep-dive small group discussions on a hot topic that matters to career admins and workplace operators
leadership opportunities through event hosting and volunteering

Admingling was a unique opportunity for me to connect with people who do the kind of work I do. Not only was the atmosphere fun and inviting, the conversations were productive and encouraging.
It was refreshing to talk through organizational struggles, office dynamics, popular tools for our work, and different ways we’ve been successful (and not so successful), with other leaders in my field.

From my first interaction with Admingling, it was obvious that this event was curated with Admin+ professionals in mind. Every detail was clearly outlined and addressed. The pre-event communications and check-in went smoothly.
The real magic was meeting other peers in my city! My day-to-day can feel quite lonely, so it was great to exchange strategies. For example, one attendee told me about this new HR law impacting all businesses and I was able to research a solution the next day.
I also greatly enjoyed the dialogue and conversation topics. I left the event in a mood to dream about the future I want, both personally and professionally. All in all, three hours very well spent.

Volunteering for Admingling was everything I hoped it would be! I got a chance to peek at the behind-the-scenes work it takes to put an evening like this together. It was well organized, ran smoothly, and served its purpose: to get administrative professionals together to share, connect, and collaborate. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed volunteering as much as I did at Admingling. 10/10 would do it again.

Admingling has given me the ability to grow both personally and professionally through the connections I've made and best practices I've learned. When I attend these events, I receive knowledge and advice I can implement the next day, which is immensely valuable. OfficeNinjas has created a community I have come to love and rely on.
