The South Mall is abuzz this week with the chatter of…“Are you going to the Mixer on The Mall?”
This new networking event is a refreshing way to kick-start the summer (or lack thereof!) in the style of a good old fashioned ‘pub crawl’ with the added benefit of connecting with friends and neighbours here on the Mall – it’s a real win win!
The inaugural event is being hosted by our friends at Electric and Republic of Work on Friday, June 21st which conveniently, is also the longest day of the year!
The ‘crawl’ commences at Republic of Work with a Graham Norton Irish Gin reception and hors d’oeuvres.
At Fuzion, we recently had a team building day at The Republic of Work’s new event space and I have to say the layout, design and hospitality of this relatively new addition to the South Mall has lended itself to become a real Cork gem.
The mixer then leads onto the Maldron Hotel, the ‘new kid on the block’, for welcome drinks and sharing boards. I have yet to visit so am looking forward to this one!
Following this, the evening then carries on to Electric Bar and Restaurant for cocktails and nibbles – My favourite!
It is great to see a blend of both the Cork business and social scene coming together like this to create a new avenue and incentive to connect.
So often we get caught up with the work on our desks, that we can tend to let networking take a back seat – not giving it the full focus it deserves.
Creating niche networking opportunities such as “The Mixer on the Mall” offers more of a variety, a relaxed vibe and is something that we as a community should do more of and encourage.
Events, as we know, take a lot of time, care and planning to get right – but once executed correctly can have a major impact on the success on the particular brands’ overall awareness, launch or initiative.
At Fuzion we love both arranging and attending events of all kinds!
..So, a big thanks to the guys organising this one, we can’t wait!
