We're Back Collab 519: September Speed Networking for Entrepreneurs!
About this Event
🍂 September Is Your Second New Year
And we’re starting it together.
Summer is over. The calendar is filling up. The kids are back in school. Your inbox is waking up.
And if you’re anything like us, September feels a little like January 2.0.
For entrepreneurs, September is often the real reset, the moment we come back from summer, refocus, rethink what’s working, and get serious about what we want the rest of the year to look like.
So… let’s get back in the room.
🍷 Welcome Back to Collab 519
Join us at the beautiful Idlewyld Inn & Spa in London Ont. for an evening designed to help you reconnect, meet new people, and kick off your entrepreneurial “second new year” with intention.
And because September deserves a little more than a conference room…
We’re taking over the Wine Cellar Room. 🍷
This is a Stop collecting business cards. Start building relationships. kinda networking event.
No awkward standing around.
No cliques.
No collecting 47 business cards you’ll never look at again.
Instead, Collab 519 is about creating the space for real conversations, meaningful connections, collaborations, and referrals.
What’s waiting for you?
🔥 Reconnect with entrepreneurs you may not have seen all summer
🔥 Meet new people outside your usual circle
🔥 Expand your referral network
🔥 Discover potential collaborators, clients, and opportunities
🔥 Have conversations that actually go somewhere
🔥 Start your fall with fresh energy and fresh perspective
How It Works
✔️ Structured speed networking so you can meet multiple local entrepreneurs without the awkwardness
✔️ Open networking before and after the structured rounds so you can dive deeper into the conversations that click
✔️ A beautiful, intimate setting at Idlewyld Inn & Spa
✔️ Good people, good conversations, and a little wine-cellar energy
And yes… there will still be a door prize. 😉
Why Collab 519?
Because we don't believe networking should be about how many people you can meet.
It's about who you meet—and what happens after.
This is where:
• collaborations begin
• referrals are exchanged
• ideas get sparked
• relationships grow
• opportunities find you
You never know who you're going to sit across from.
That person you've been looking for might be in the room.
🍂 Your September Reset
Before the fall gets completely away from you, take an evening to step out of the day-to-day and ask yourself:
What do I want the rest of this year to look like?
Then surround yourself with people who are building, creating, growing, and figuring it out too.
You don't need another event where you stand around making small talk.
You need the right room.
And we're pretty sure this is it.
