Urban League Connect

Urban League Connect: Experience & Lounge is the ultimate destination at the National Urban League Conference. This space offers more than networking; it fosters culture, conversation, and meaningful connections. Recharge with coffee, network in the coworking zone, or take advantage of complimentary headshots. Attendees can also enjoy exclusive product launches, celebrity appearances, interactive sessions, and engaging activities. This year, Urban League Connect Experience & Lounge is fully integrated, featuring Health & Wellness, HER Space, KINGS Corner, Creators Suite, and Mom’s Village. Community Marketplace and AI Innovation Station are available in the lounge, during Community Day, and in the virtual environment. Attendees can join remotely and access content after the event concludes.

Your work speaks for itself, but in today’s world, that’s not always enough. If people can’t see it, connect to it, or understand it, it can get overlooked. That’s where your external brand comes in.

In this session, you will learn how to be more intentional about how you show up beyond your organization and get clear on what you want to be known for. Your brand should represent you, even when you’re not in the room.

We’ll work through how to align your experience, voice, and visibility so they tell a clear, consistent story. From LinkedIn to everyday networking moments, you’ll learn ways to position yourself in a way that feels authentic and purposeful. If you’re ready to move with more intention and be recognized for your value, this session will help you do just that.
