When does it start/end?

Doors open at 12pm and will be closed at 12:30pm so as not to disrupt the start of the event, so please arrive as close to 12pm as possible to give yourself time to grab a seat & get your complimentary drink. The Schmooze will end promptly at 5pm.

What’s the dress code?

Wear whatever you want… but we’d LOVE for you to go all out & wear something that makes you feel powerful, sexy, and like you own the room. Walking into the venue feeling like a boss is going to prepare your mindset for what's to come. Dress fearlessly.

Are there refreshments?

Yes! You'll get a complimentary drink on arrival at 12pm (there will be an alco + non-alcho option). There will also be a few drinks breaks throughout the day with free options provided by us. At 2:30pm, we'll stop for a late lunch, which you can pre-order from our chosen food partner, or bring your own if you wish. Once you've booked your tickets, we'll email you separately to choose your lunch option! Please note, this will be additional to your ticket price.

I’m a bit anxious about being in a room with actual people, help!

Don't stress :) This event is designed to relax & inspire you... and leave you feeling emotionally cleansed with your mood elevated. While you are welcome to mingle & vibe with everyone in the room, there really is no stress, and your host Chi is going to guide you through the day so you feel at ease, whether you came alone or with friends. You'll be so preoccupied with what’s on, any social anxiety will dissipate as soon as you arrive. Plus… you’re going to be surrounded by human beings on your wavelength, so think of everyone as family.
