Frequently
Asked
Questions
Q: Why do you require 500+ LinkedIn connections?
A: We're building a community of active professional networkers. 500+ connections indicates you're serious about professional relationships and will contribute to our community's network effects.
Q: I don't have 500+ connections but I'm a legitimate professional. Can I still join?
A: Yes! Provide your company website in the application. If it demonstrates professional credibility, we may approve your application.
Q: I don't use LinkedIn. Can I join?
A: We require either LinkedIn (500+ connections) OR a company website that demonstrates professional credibility. If neither, we can't verify membership eligibility.
Q: Can I still attend events if my application is declined?
A: Absolutely! If you're not approved for membership, you'll become a subscriber and still receive invitations to our public events. Many of our events are open to everyone—members and non-members alike. Plus, you can always re-apply for membership when you're ready.
Q: How long does application review take?
A: Applications are reviewed weekly. Upon acceptance, you will be notified and will receive an invitation to join and create your member profile officially.
Q: Is my information kept private?
A: Yes. Only Community Manager and Leadership can see your full application. Your date of birth is never shared. Your email is only visible if you opt into the member directory.
