Frequently asked questions
Meet After Work is for professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs looking to expand their network, share what they’re building, and connect with like-minded people in a supportive and inspiring setting.
This isn’t your typical happy hour. We use a curated open mic–style format so attendees can introduce themselves, talk about their goals, and connect with purpose—not small talk.

Doors open at 5:00 PM, and the open mic usually kicks off by 5:45 PM. Arriving early gives you time to grab a drink, meet a few people, and ease into the energy.
