Don’t miss this opportunity to broaden your network and engage in meaningful and dynamic conversations. \nWe are continually working to enhance our networking experiences\, based on your valuable feedback\, making it more authentic and meaningful. At large events\, it can be challenging for attendees to make new business connections or engage with people outside their immediate network. \nThis year\, we are excited to partner with Braindate\, a Montreal-based technology company\, to offer an optimized networking experience during the first hour of the ProFierté cocktail reception (4:30 to 5:30 PM). \nSo\, how do you spark those meaningful conversations? It all starts with a Braindate. \nBraindates are knowledge-sharing conversations that you schedule with others to have in small groups on-site in the Braindate Lounge. They are perfect for brainstorming\, solving challenges\, and sharing expertise or experiences while meeting new\, brilliant people. \nRegister for the event\, book a Braindate with one of our experts from our Community Partners and Champions\, and learn something new. \nYou will also gain direct access to the ProPride Reception\, which usually sells out quickly. Don’t miss out! \n[/vc_column] \n[vc_column width=”1/3″] \nSPONSORS\n  \nGOLD SPONSOR\n  \n \n \nSILVER SPONSOR\n\n \nBRONZE SPONSOR\n  \n \n[/vc_column] \n[/vc_row] \nHOST SPONSOR & LOCATION\n[vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/3″] \n\n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″] \nSid Lee\n12102-1 Place Ville Marie\, Montreal\, Quebec\, H3B 3Y1\, Canada \n[/vc_column][/vc_row] \n[vc_row] \n[vc_column width=”1/6″] \n[/vc_column] \n[vc_column width=”1/3″] \n  \nNETWORKING SUPPORT\n \n[/vc_column] \n[vc_column width=”1/3″] \n  \nCOMMUNITY PARTNER\n \n[/vc_column] \n[vc_column width=”1/6″] \n[/vc_column] \n[/vc_row] \nRegistration on Eventbrite.\nAbout ProPride:\nProPride is an innovative event series hosted by Pride at Work Canada\, bringing together inclusive employers\, 2SLGBTQIA+ thought leaders\, and community organizations for engaging conversations\, networking opportunities\, panel and roundtable discussions.
