Have You Joined a Fika?
Inspired by the Swedish tradition of slowing down over coffee, our Fikas are casual, 30-minute "gabfests" designed to connect the CII community. Whether you're a long-standing member or a fresh face looking to introduce yourself to colleagues, these sessions are the perfect space to catch up. We chat about everything in the CII wheelhouse—from upcoming events and internal business to general shop talk. Keep an eye on your inbox for the next email invitation!
