Creating the Experience – Branding, Theme, and Agenda

You’ve set the date—now it’s time to shape the experience. A great mixer is a blend of thoughtful design and authentic interaction.

Tips for Curating a Great Experience

• Event Branding: Design a simple logo or identity for your event.
• Themed Focus: Give your mixer a purpose—“Women in Business,” “Startup Connect,” or “Retail Roundtable.”
• Simple Agenda: Light structure keeps things smooth. Try: Check-in > Welcome > Icebreaker > Open Networking > Closing.
• Create Atmosphere: Use music, lighting, and even small décor touches to reinforce your brand.

💡 Pro Tip: Name badges with job titles or industries help guide conversations.
