The Council: Food Industry Casual Mixer & Networking
Looking to connect with other food industry professionals without the stiff corporate formatting? Join us for a laid-back, outdoor networking mixer at the park.
Hosted by local business owners K Kane, Patricia, and Safwen, this gathering is designed to bring together food industry founders, operators, distributors, and creators in a completely casual environment. There are no rigid agendas or formal presentations. The goal is simple: hang out, meet like-minded professionals, share ideas, and see what kind of organic collaborations or opportunities naturally emerge.
We will have free drinks and snacks on hand, some great music playing, and a soccer ball ready for anyone who wants to kick it around or jump into a casual pickup game. Whether you want to talk shop, talk strategy, or just enjoy a relaxing afternoon outdoors with people who understand the food business, you are welcome here.
