BEAT MIXES are a platform to develop relationships across Toronto’s architecture and design communities by setting up opportunities for networking. Each MIX features guests that include principals from local design firms of various sizes, along with leaders in related professions such as construction, accounting, engineering, and academia. Participants have the opportunity to interact with the featured guests and peers in smaller focused groups. MIXES have offered an opportunity to discuss topics that are less commonly addressed in our profession, such as navigating the challenges of returning to work after a parental leave, various parental policies in offices, and discussion about the financial, social and cultural dynamics of raising a family while managing a career.
The event will include five invited Featured Guests who are stationed in five specific Zones. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with the Featured Guests and meet a succession of individuals in small groups throughout the evening.
