A Day of Focus, Fellowship, and Forward Momentum

Eritreans in Tech hosted a vibrant networking mixer at Massawa Restaurant in New York City, bringing together professionals from diverse industries with shared Eritrean roots. The evening provided an open and welcoming environment where attendees exchanged ideas, explored potential collaborations, and strengthened community ties. Unlike structured programs, the mixer emphasized organic conversations, allowing participants to connect freely over food, drinks, and shared experiences.

Many attendees were meeting for the first time, creating opportunities to expand personal and professional networks while learning about one another’s career paths and entrepreneurial journeys. The choice of Massawa, a long-standing cultural landmark in Manhattan, added warmth and familiarity to the atmosphere, reinforcing the sense of heritage and identity at the heart of the gathering. By the end of the night, the event successfully fostered meaningful connections, strengthened community spirit, and laid the groundwork for future engagement and growth.
