June 1st | Impact Hub Athens
Step into a space where real connection meets intentional growth.
This isn’t just an event, it’s a turning point.
Authentic Growth in a Fast-Moving World is NextGen Networking’s signature experience, crafted for emerging leaders, creatives, and curious minds who are done with surface-level networking and ready for something deeper.
Join us for a day of bold conversations, powerful insights, and moments that shift how you see yourself, and others.
You’ll hear from voices that challenge, inspire, and spark clarity in a world that rarely slows down. This is where growth begins, not by trying to keep up, but by getting real.
What to Expect
- Conversations that go beyond "what do you do" and into why you do it
- A community driven by purpose, not performance
- Tools and strategies to navigate complexity with clarity and integrity
Featured Speakers
Pepe Soomers – Authentic Growth Starts Within
Together with Pepe Soomers, expert in human behavior and leadership transformation, we’ll explore why real growth doesn’t begin with strategy, but with self. Drawing on over 30 years of experience, Pepe guides us through the deeper layers of emotional intelligence, and inner alignment. This session will help you reconnect with your core and redefine how you lead, decide, and grow, from the inside out.
Andriana Mitrakos – Staying Clear and Grounded in the Noise
Together with Andriana Mitrakos, Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist, we will scratch the surface of how today’s fast-paced and overstimulated world affects our “Control Center” — our brains. With an understanding of our inner workings, we will learn how to calibrate our day-to-day for clarity, focus, and healthy, sustainable growth.
Why It Matters
This is not about collecting contacts, it’s about building relationships that matter.
No fluff. No pretense. Just real people, real insight, and real momentum.
You’ll leave with:
- A refreshed sense of direction
- Conversations that stick
- A network rooted in trust and authenticity
Authentic growth starts here.
Spots are limited. Step in before they’re gone
