Drop The Mic Night is back this October with a brand new theme, HOPE, and all proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish Connecticut.
Ten aspiring speakers will take the stage and share their take on this October’s theme: HOPE. Five minutes each. Raw, real and unforgettable. These are people from your community, maybe your neighbor, your colleague, your friend, who have worked hard to craft and deliver a talk that will move you. Come ready to laugh, feel something and leave inspired.
And here’s the thing about Drop The Mic Night — you’re not just an audience member. You’re a cheerleader. Literally. We hand out pom poms at the door because that energy in the room? That’s what carries our speakers through. The more people we pack into that room, the louder the cheers, and the more powerful the experience becomes for everyone on that stage.
Your ticket also includes food, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and the kind of genuine, warm community-building that keeps people coming back event after event. This isn’t a stuffy fundraiser. It’s a party with a purpose.
And that purpose is real. Every dollar raised goes directly to Make-A-Wish Connecticut to help them create life changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
By showing up, you’re doing two things at once: giving an aspiring speaker the moment they’ve been working toward, and helping Make-A-Wish Connecticut deliver hope, strength, and inspiration at a time when a child and their family need it most.
That’s a pretty great reason to buy two (or more) tickets and bring someone with you.
ABOUT SHANNON MALKIN DANIELS
Shannon Malkin Daniels is a TEDx speaker, author, professional storyteller, and authentic communication expert. Through her speaking, training and facilitation, she helps leaders across industries build confidence and connection by communicating from who they are, not who they think they’re supposed to be.
She firmly believes every person has a story to tell and a message the world needs to hear, yet too many hold back, either out of fear or because they struggle to shape their ideas into a clear, compelling message. Shannon helps people overcome this by showing them how to refine their message and delivery in a way that strengthens trust, deepens relationships, and leads to more meaningful impact, without losing themselves in the process.
