Looking to take the next step in your career? Beyond the Business Card is a high-energy, student-focused networking experience designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry reality. Whether you are an event planning or hospitality student, or an emerging professional looking to break into the field, this evening at Limberlost Place offers a welcoming, pressure-free environment to build genuine relationships.
What to Expect
This isn't your typical stuffy networking mixer. The event is structured to provide tangible career value, featuring an industry panel where you can hear from leaders about the current landscape of the hospitality and event sectors. Beyond the panel, you’ll have the chance to engage in guided networking sessions, get a professional headshot taken, and even receive business card design tips to help you stand out.
Why It Matters
In an industry built on relationships, this is your opportunity to turn what you’re learning on the job into real-world connections. With premium food and beverages, raffle prizes, and affordable student pricing, it’s an accessible way to grow your professional circle. Plus, proceeds from the event support a local charity, so you can feel good about your networking efforts.
Getting There
Limberlost Place is located at 185 Queens Quay E, right on the waterfront. It’s easily accessible by transit via the Queens Quay streetcar or a short walk from Union Station. Given the limited capacity, we highly recommend securing your tickets early to ensure you don't miss out on this chance to turn your contacts into connections.
