6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Simonholt Restaurant, 6582 Applecross Rd, Nanaimo, BC (open in Google Maps)
Free Event
Presented by The Nanaimo Business Social
A casual evening mixer for Nanaimo's entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals. There is no agenda and no set topics: everyone takes about 30 seconds to introduce themselves and what they are working on, then the room opens up to conversation over food and drinks at Simonholt Restaurant. It suits anyone building local connections, from aspiring founders to established owners. The group asks attendees to order something from the menu to support the venue that hosts them.
Anu's Take
For all my Nanaimo contacts, this event may be for you. I met Graham a year ago or so at the Victoria version of this event, and have made the trip to attend. Great spot, great people, great conversation. It's worth a look.
