mixer FAQ

  • All mixers have limited availability and registration in advance is required to confirm and reserve your seat. So get it while it's hot! Once a mixer is full, we will not accept additional registration.

  • We make it simple! 

    •Click "Register Now" on the home page of our website.

    •Fill out the registration form. 

    •After submission, we will send you info as the mixer date approaches!

  • We work hard on making mixers fun and enjoyable. Connect is about making connections and you will be guaranteed to make at least 10! Included in your registration are drink and appetizers. You are also entered in a raffle drawing to win swag or something fun! If that's not enough, you will also receive an exclusive offer for attending the mixer from our host of the evening. We value your time and energy and want to create a great environment and experience! 

  • A common question is "who's going?" or "who has signed up?". To be fair, professional, and respect peoples privacy, we do not share the register list information. If there is someone or something on your mind, you can let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. 

  • After your register for a mixer, we are counting on you for full participation and timely attendance. The structure of the mixers rely on the attendees to be present! Doors open at 6:15pm and we start promptly at 6:30pm. Please don't be late, we need you to start! We understand life happens, but if it's in your control to be on time, please do. 

    Mixers are scheduled to end by 8:00 pm. However, we encourage you to stay and continue conversations for a while! (And eat the appetizers) The space is available for us until you are ready to go home. 

  • We advise bringing about 20 business cards or even pamphlets if you have them. But it's not necessary. Honestly, the most important thing to bring is a smile and a good attitude. 

  • If we had to label it, we would say business casual. However, wear what you are comfortable in. We want to get to know you for who you are. 

  • Each business mixer is in a different location. The host of the mixer opens up their business space for us! Before the 1-on-1 speed-networking starts, we kick off the night with hearing from the host! He or she has 15 minutes to share his/her story, business, services and/or products. In return, the host has an exclusive offer or deal for the mixer attendees. This is a nice way to add a little spice to the evening.

  • The business mixers aren't about selling, they are about connecting. Here are a list of reasons someone may attend outside of selling a product or service: 

    • Connect with like-minded people

    • Interest in other services/products people offer

    • Organic recruitment opportunities 

    • Meet more community members

    • Social outing in a professional setting

    • Build brand awareness

  • Absolutely! If anything, this may be a place of inspiration for you and help you navigate career options.
