HBS Global Networking Night started in 2009 to bring together HBS alumni in different locations throughout the world, for an evening of informal networking. The School created the program for a number of reasons, including:

• Bring alumni together for a night of networking in locations around the world

• Reinforce the power of the HBS network and the importance of staying connected

• Increase awareness of the global alumni clubs network

• Provide an easy and fun mechanism for alumni to participate in social, business or career networking in their local geographies

Finding the 40th Floor: on the ground floor (aka 5th Ave street level), look for the HBS club sign and representative who will usher you to the 40th Floor Sky Lobby where the event will take place

Parking: the easiest most accessible parking is in the Columbia Center's parking garage, but the parking is relatively expensive (e.g. ~$20).  If you're looking to save some money and don't mind a <5min walk, past attendees have used the following locations

• Diamond Parking immediately across the street (https://maps.app.goo.gl/TTy315Gy5NCu9Dcr6) 

• Butler Garage two blocks away as some of the cheapest parking in the area (https://maps.app.goo.gl/wx7wyaveTX8VXWuz5)

• SeaPark Garage adjacent to Columbia Tower, Seattle Court parking where there's typically availablity after working hours (https://maps.app.goo.gl/LESDFFw86qWFffwQ9)
