"Hey everyone!
I would like to talk about my experience at another one of HerFuture’s successful events last week. As always, it was a combination of fun and networking. This time, there were four companies for us girls to communicate and network with, and we did this in such a comfortable context: while we were sipping our hot chocolates and designing candles! Everyone, from the attendees to the company representatives, was genuinely happy to be there, which contributed to the amazing atmosphere of women supporting women!

The highlights of the event for me were definitely the hot chocolate bar - you also got to garnish your own hot chocolate with A LOT of toppings, the fact that there were FOUR big companies to network with (Sogeti, Accenture, Van Lanschot Kempen, and KPN), and designing candles surrounded by talented women. It was such a nice and safe environment without the pressure of ‘networking professionally.’ Connecting with everyone from recruiters to students was a thrill, and even if nothing comes out of the networking part, I’ve connected with lots of girls sharing the same thoughts, all happy to be part of this community.

All in all, this event made me realize that when there are many women in one place, we thrive to become our best selves, and that HerFuture events are amazing at creating this atmosphere. It was such a wholesome and emotionally fulfilling event that I will not be able to stop talking about how lucky I was to be able to register there among hundreds of applicants!"
