Directions
Kick off the 2025 SMPS programming year with a fun twist on networking! Cards & Connections combines casual mingling with a lighthearted poker run designed to help you meet the new SMPS Southeast Michigan Board.
Here’s how it works:
-
Each attendee will receive a sheet of fun facts about our new board members.
-
As you network, match the fun fact to the correct board member—and they’ll hand you a playing card.
-
Collect cards throughout the evening to build your best poker hand.
-
At the end of the event, we’ll see who’s holding the winning hand for a chance to snag a prize!
Whether you’re a longtime member or brand-new to SMPS, this is the perfect way to reconnect after summer, grow your network, and meet the new leadership team in a relaxed, upbeat setting.
Agenda:
4:00 pm-4:30 pm: Networking + Registration
4:30 pm-5:00 pm: Food and a Thank You From Sponsors
5:00 pm-6:30 pm: Poker Run Game
