Events Offered:
NetIP North Carolina organizes a variety of events to satisfy the cultural and professional needs of our members.
Business Card Exchange (BCE) Thursdays: Event organized to facilitate the meeting and commingling of professionals over a casual pint of beer. These meets are often attended by recruiters, political activists and leaders of the industry. It provides a laidback platform for networking and for exchange of ideas.
The Subcontinentalist (Book Club): To comprehend, cherish and celebrate the literature of the Indian Subcontinent, we have formed a book club dedicated to fiction and non-fiction of South Asia—books written by South Asian authors or based there. Our mission is to spread cultural awareness, to be intellectually honest and stimulating, to emotionally enrich and spiritually awaken.
The Grape Expectations and The Maltish Falcon (A Wine and Scotch Club): If women crave their sweet and bubbly grapes, men want their malts, single and strong. At NetIP we have formed a Wine and Scotch Club to cater to your vice-of-choice. What matters is that you savor the flavor. Our mantra is tongue-in-cheek: wine is to India what paan is to France!
Annual Picnics: We hope that you like the American National and State Park system as much as we do. Summers without the park are like meatballs without spaghetti. Every summer NetIP organizes the family friendly picnic, where people from all age-groups descend with their frisbies and BBQ-sauces.
Festival Dinners: We like our Holi and Diwali, our festivals of color and light, as much as you do: the only reason why we insist that we all ought to come together on the same dinner table to share jokes, anecdotes and resolutions.
Mom-and-Pop-Restaurant Crawl: Yes, we know you heard of gallery crawls and art-store walks, but we believe that the best way to understand the culture of city’s cuisine is to go to that hole-in-the-wall, often the best food is available at least glamorous places. Come join us on the Mom-and-Pop-Restaurant, discover your BBQ favorites and the best vegetarian burgers?
