Ten years of gatherings, hundreds of new connections. Here's what the community says about showing up.
I attended my first Green Drinks DC just three days after moving to the District and I'm so glad I did! As a fully remote worker, I immediately felt welcomed by an extended network of colleagues in the field and forged friendships that last to this day!
I've been going to Green Drinks on and off for the last 10 years, and it always feels like an opportunity to feel welcomed in a casual setting where new connections can be easily made. There's no expectation or judgment of any kind. Fortunate to have this kind of space in DC that has grown in attendance but keeps the community essence of not in-your-face networking.
Green Drinks DC is a really cool, easygoing networking space and also a community, that brings together people who care about sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental issues. It's fun and interesting!
I have loved coming to Green Drinks, meeting like-minded people and some lifelong friends. You can network, build connections, and have an excuse to chat more on your environmental niche.
Green Drinks is a great space to connect with other climate-passionate folks, both to professionally network, but also to build new friendships beyond happy hour.
Brendan, in government relations for a public land-managing nonprofit, and Ari, working in the electric utility space, met at Green Drinks and formed a lasting friendship there.
Real faces from real events across DC. Connection, empowerment, and fun, every single month.
Green Drinks DC is run by Spencer and Tim, two organizers who got tired of talking about sustainability in silos and decided to do something about it. What started as casual happy hours has grown into one of the most consistent environmental networking events in the District. The model is simple: pick a great bar, invite interesting people, and get out of the way.
