Most networking events were built for a world that no longer exists.
Quick handshakes. Business cards. Surface-level small talk. A room full of people who leave the same way they arrived — alone.
This isn't that.
What this is?
Klyde's Creatives is a community-powered movement, designed to build rooms where real connection happens — between people who make things and people who build things. Between creative talent and the businesses learning how to work with them.
After a powerful first gathering in Hamilton, we're bringing this experience to St. Catharines — and the conversation is only getting more relevant.
The conversation we're having
Work is changing. Freelance, contract, and independent creative work are no longer the exception — they're the direction. Businesses are navigating how to adapt. Creatives are navigating how to position themselves in that shift.
Our panel will explore the intersection of creativity and commerce — how both sides can find each other, understand each other, and build something better together. With experts in Social Media, Ads, Human Resources, The Creative Process, and Finance. Expect real conversation, not polished talking points.
What to expect
This is a structured experience — not a free-for-all networking event.
You'll move through:
5:00 – 6:30 PM | Arrival + open networking:
Come in, get settled, start connecting
6:30 – 7:30 PM | Panel + guided dialogue:
A curated conversation on creativity, work, and where they meet
7:30 – 9:00 PM | Open networking:
Let the conversations from the panel carry you forward
Who belongs in this room?:
- Creatives of all kinds
- Business owners
- Entrepreneurs
- Freelancers + independents
- Career changers
Anyone tired of shallow networking
If you've been looking for a space that actually respects your time, your work, and your need for real connection — this is your invitation.
This event is part of our continued effort to build sustainable creative spaces and support ongoing programming. Your ticket directly supports that mission.
