SUMMARY:Networking Event for Professionals by The Hip Haus
DESCRIPTION:The Hip Haus presents: Professionals Networking Event! Hosted at Parc Ave\n  \n\n\n\n\n** What is The Hip Haus? **The Hip Haus is an organization that exists to empower young and experienced professionals alike in the GTA and help the growth of local business. As professionals (especially post-pandemic world) it is sometimes difficult to network with other like-minded individuals\, get good career advice or simply make connections with others you may be able to help or get help from. The Hip Haus is committed to providing social gatherings in an atmosphere where such networking can take place. \n** Who Should Attend? **The Hip Haus events are 19+. The focus however is the growth and development of professionals in the GTA. It doesn’t matter if you are a business owner\, have a job\, are looking for a job\, recently graduated university/college\, still in university/college\, looking for others to launch a new idea or just want to meet other professionals\, our events are for you. \nRemember that Industry is Industry. One is not better than the other to The Hip Haus. We are expecting a diverse range of industry professionals. Our events include professionals from Tech & AI to Entrepreneurs\, Musicians\, Artists\, Bankers\, I.T. Professionals\, Accountants\, Investors\, Advertising/Marketing Professionals\, Bloggers\, Authors\, Lawyers\, Doctors\, Dentists (This List Can Clearly Go On). ALL ARE WELCOME! \n** What to Expect at Our Events? **Bring Business cards or have your LinkedIn QR code at the ready. Networking! That is the key to these events. Sure\, it can be a great place to hang out and have a beer with a few friends but it is important to come with an open mind to meet new people and make new connections. Build your network of friends/colleagues/advisors to help yourself as well as them. The Hip Haus wants the professionals of the GTA to come together to help foster personal and professional development. \n** Dress Code! **This is a tricky one. There is NO strict dress code but remember this; you are meeting professionals in an informal manner and we all know first impressions last forever. Come dressed in a way that would allow you to be comfortable and professional according to your industry. Consider This…would a professional musician/artist necessarily dress the same as an investment banker at work? Be who you are or who you want to be. \n  \n#YoungProfessionalsNetworking #ProfessionalsNetworking #EntrepreneurNetworking #FounderEvents #FounderNetworking #AINetworkingToronto #TechNetworkingEvents #YoungProfessionalsAI #EntrepreneursAI #AIandTechToronto #NetworkingEventsGTA #IssabellsToronto \n  \n** Let’s Get Social!** WEB: www.thehiphaus.com INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER

SUMMARY:Rainbow Entrepreneur Collective: February Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next gathering of the Rainbow Entrepreneur Collective to Grow Your Community of 2SLGBTQIA+ Business-Owning Peers.\nBack at a pride event hosted by Small Business BC in 2023\, we noticed a massive appetite among queer entrepreneurs to develop more meaningful and generative spaces for us to gather and learn from one another’s stories and strategies. The opportunity for 2SLGBTQIA+ business owners and leaders to gather and connect had been missing for too long. And so we formed the Rainbow Entrepreneur Collective to fill this gap and to bring more colour into each of our professional lives by organizing quarterly gatherings for likeminded professionals to share their experiences with one another. \nThe response to our first few gatherings was overwhelmingly positive\, and we’re excited to bring our community back together for our next gathering at BDC on February 25\, 2025 from 5:00-7:00pm. \nJoin us for this facilitated event that will include small group discussions about what you– the entrepreneurs of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community– need and seek to support you and your business’s success. By showing up\, honestly sharing\, and listening with an open heart\, we promise you’ll be inspired to shine brighter through your business. \nA Couple Notes:\n\nA Sober Space: We’re working hard to create a safe\, consent-centred space that provides meaningful opportunities for participants to speak\, listen\, and connect from the heart. As such\, we’re proud to identify our gatherings as sober-centred.\nAllies? REC is a volunteer-run organization focused on supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ community; as such\, our events are catered specifically to members of the rainbow community\, and we kindly request that allies find another avenue to supporting queers in business.\n\nHave any Questions?\nReach out to jarren@harccreative.com for more info or context.
