HOW OUR EVENT WORKS

The first part of the evening is designed to allow you to get comfortable, have some ice-breakers with other guests, get a drink and settle in. We suggest that you balance having great conversations with connecting with as many people as possible.

Around 8pm pitching time begins. This gives everyone the floor for 1-minute to present to the group and make a statement. We suggest “less is more” – make it short, sharp and memorable!

The hosted portion of the evening finishes at 9pm, but don’t go anywhere. The music and the vibe get turned up a notch to close out the evening.
