MN Rising Professionals Spring Networking Mixer Returns May 15

If you missed the last MN Rising Professionals mixer, now is your chance to get in the room. The organization is bringing Twin Cities professionals together again for their Spring Networking Mixer on Friday, May 15, 2026 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Tender Lovin Chix, 2700 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis.

The last event drew a record-breaking 150-plus professionals into one space, and organizers are looking to build on that energy heading into the fall. This spring mixer is designed to keep the momentum going, creating an evening centered on real connection, meaningful conversation, and community building across industries.

Whether you are a seasoned professional looking to expand your network, an emerging leader seeking collaborators, or someone simply looking to plug into a community of driven Twin Cities professionals, this event was built with you in mind. Attendees can expect 100-plus professionals from a wide range of industries, organic networking opportunities with peers and leaders, and a welcoming environment that makes it easy to start conversations and build relationships that last beyond the room.

Co-host Shakirah Edwards will also be on hand to share details about the upcoming 2026 MN Rising Professionals Conference, set for September 26, giving attendees an early look at what is coming this fall. A full food menu and full drink menu will be available throughout the evening at Tender Lovin Chix, one of Minneapolis’s beloved local businesses.

MN Rising Professionals has made supporting local Minneapolis businesses a core part of their mission, and this mixer is no different. Come ready to connect, eat well, and invest in the kind of community that carries professionals forward.
