Beyond the Business Card: A Hospitality Networking Experience

Step into an evening built for connection, confidence, and career momentum.
Beyond the Business Card is a welcoming, high‑energy networking event created by six Event Planning students from George Brown Polytechnic. This event is designed to bring together hospitality students, emerging professionals, and industry leaders for meaningful conversations and real opportunities.

Whether you’re just entering the industry or looking to expand your professional circle, BtBC offers a supportive, approachable environment to help you learn, grow, and connect.

BtBC is designed to bring together the full hospitality ecosystem, including:

• Students studying hospitality, events, hotels, tourism, and culinary arts
• Emerging professionals across Toronto’s hospitality sector
• Early‑career staff in entertainment, venues, restaurants, and private clubs
• Industry leaders looking to mentor, recruit, or connect with new talent
• Vendors, suppliers, and hospitality service partners

Build your professional toolkit during the event with:

• Professional Headshot Zone – Get an updated, polished profile photo for LinkedIn or portfolios.
• Build-Your-Own Business Card Zone – Build and customize your own business card on-site.
• Raffle Prizes – Win items and experiences from local Toronto brands supporting our student‑led event.

Enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres and beverages throughout the evening.

All proceeds from BtBC will be donated to a local Toronto charity, supporting community initiatives and meaningful causes.

Photos and videos will be taken for event marketing and documentation.
If you prefer not to appear in event media, please let an organizer know at check‑in. We are happy to accommodate you.
