West Berkeley Design Loop Mixer Overview
All members of the West Berkeley Design Loop are invited to host a community mixer!
Here are a few details and answers to questions you might have.
Why host a mixer? Hosting a mixer is a great way to open your doors to fellow industry professionals and contribute to the professional community we are building together. As a host, you are welcome to share what you do through an informal talk, a brief slideshow, or a tour of your space, typically five to ten minutes.
What we offer hosts? WBDL will send an announcement to our community introducing the hosting business, including a photo and description you provide along with a link to your website. Announcements go out two to three times before the mixer and once after.
Who gets to host? Hosting is available to current WBDL members.
What are host responsibilities? Please plan on refreshments for 20 to 30 people. What you offer is up to you, but past hosts have provided cheese and crackers, hummus and vegetables, chips and salsa, nuts, fruit, something chocolate, and wine along with a non-alcoholic option. One host served lentil soup and Middle Eastern appetizers, so feel free to get creative.
What we need ahead of time? Photos, a brief description of your business, parking or entry details, and a sense of what visitors can expect to see.
What are the Design Loop's responsibilities? We will take photos, provide name tags and sign-in sheets, and handle wrap-up details. Lawrence or another member will stay until the last guest leaves to help with cleanup.
Event agenda? Welcome, snacks and mingling, circle introductions, host presentation or tour, closing.
Venues must be ADA accessible.
