Networking Events

Kick off the conference with food, drinks, and great conversation. The Pre-Conference Social is an open and welcoming occasion for conference attendees to mingle with presenters, fellow students, faculty, graduate students, and more — the perfect way to start Polity 2026.

Close out the conference in style at an exclusive Wine & Cheese Networking Night. Open only to students attending, presenting, or volunteering at Polity 2026, this intimate gathering brings together student presenters, faculty roundtable participants, and graduate students for an evening of meaningful conversation.
