On January 22, LebNet New York rang in 2026 with connection, inspiration, and community at our first event of the year, held at Manousheh Grand in the heart of NYC.

The evening brought together Lebanese tech professionals for an intimate, sold-out gathering filled with meaningful conversations and new connections. Despite the cold weather, nearly all registered attendees showed up, a true testament to the strength and energy of the LebNet NY community.

From familiar faces to many first-time attendees, the room buzzed with thoughtful dialogue, laughter, and collaboration. Guests enjoyed delicious manousheh while networking across industries and career stages, creating the kind of authentic connections that define LebNet.

What attendees said:

• “It went very well. Lots of people showed up!”
• “It was a great event. Good conversations.”
• “The event was great, saw a lot of new faces!”

Thank you to everyone who joined us to kick off the new year together. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to grow our vibrant New York community throughout 2026.
