No way! When you get to the party and show your ticket, tell our friendly reception people you’ve never been, and they’ll introduce you to people in your field or your interest.
Our main goal at IMP is to connect people who haven’t met before so they can make long term friendships or partnerships.
“Can I bring a friend?”
Of course! A lot of people who started coming to IMP regularly now have tons of friends in the group, and bring in more and more people to join our fun circle. In fact a lot of IMP members have become like family members to each other, and we love making room for more cool people!
“Should I bring business cards?”
It’s optional, but we don’t consider this a strict “networking event” where people awkwardly trade business cards and throw them away at home. We encourage you to come hang out, chat, have a drink or two, and talk with people in the crowd. If you happen to meet someone worth trading business cards with, then great!
“What if I don’t drink, is this like a crazy bar scene?”
No worries, a lot of our friends don’t drink, and they still have a great time! The best time for non-drinkers to come is earlier around 6:30pm. People are tame while the place is filling up. The speaker usually speaks at around 7pm, then around 7:30 we commence the biz talk. Unless you’re staying past 11pm, you’ll be great (beyond that, we party)!
“What do I wear?”
You can wear anything you want! This is casual. Most people get dressed up like it’s a casual happy hour. Whatever you’re most comfortable in, great! Bonus points if you wear a funny shirt!
“When and where is this event taking place?”
Time: Doors Open At 6:30pm (speaker goes on at 8:15pm)
