Heels & Handshakes Las Vegas: Speed Networking Event Recap
The Las Vegas Chapter of Heels & Handshakes officially made its debut with our first inaugural speed networking event—and it was nothing short of inspiring. Hosted at the Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas Strip South, we brought together 55 incredible women in business for two powerful hours of connection, collaboration, and community.
Women in Business Connecting in Las Vegas
Our mission at Heels & Handshakes is simple: to create intentional spaces where women can connect, collaborate, and grow. The Las Vegas chapter embodies this vision beautifully, drawing in professionals from diverse business sectors—entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and leaders—who are ready to exchange ideas and support one another.
Unlike traditional networking events, speed networking in Las Vegas is designed to maximize every minute. Each attendee had the chance to sit across from dozens of other professionals, sharing who they are, what they do, and where they’re headed—all in a fast-paced, energizing format that sparks real momentum.
