Dirigo Unplugged: Beyond Networking

Launching on Tuesday, Dec 16th, from 3:00 - 5:00 PM at the Dirigo Center (200 Bald Hill Road, Suite 202, Warwick, RI), this new after-hours series from Dirigo invites leaders to unplug from the daily grind and connect with peers in meaningful ways.

Each Dirigo Unplugged event offers a unique format that blends storytelling, creative expression, and interactive moments designed to surprise, inspire, and ignite new ideas.

The December 16th event combines an opportunity to share some holiday cheer, to connect with fellow leaders and professionals, and to experience the launch of a brand new way to network and build community.

Life has never been more complex. Hybrid workplaces, constant change, and the frenetic pace of our modern world have left many people operating on empty — disconnected from themselves and from each other. It's easy to get burned out and to put important things, like our human connections, on the back burner. Studies show that today nearly half of professionals struggle to maintain meaningful networks.

Dirigo Unplugged was created as an antidote — a space to refuel through story, connection, and shared experience. The continuing series will transform the Dirigo Center into a vibrant hub for leadership activation — a space where professionals come not just to network, but to contribute, grow, and keep the fire burning long after the workday ends.

“Dirigo Unplugged is less about collecting business cards and more about creating a shared experience where connections and sparks grow,” said Tim Hebert, Founder and CEO of Dirigo. “We wanted to create a place where people can exhale, reflect, and reawaken their sense of purpose — together.”
