After Hours:
networking done differently
Step into our office
Want to network, but hate networking events? Same.
Most networking events tend to go like this:
+ You stick on your name tag and face the awkward walk-in, desperately looking around for someone that looks friendly enough to approach
+ You finally build up the courage to approach someone, but you soon learn it’s a vendor who’s trying to sell you something 🫠
+ The invite said food was included but turns out that means one bowl of chips for 50 people (so now you’re starving)
+ You leave without having made any real connections and wonder if it was even worth your time
After Hours is career networking done differently. Think curated, intimate events for professionals looking for genuine connection
What makes After
Hours different?
It can be hard to have real conversations at your average networking event- particularly when you’re not loving your current role, or you’re dealing with a role redundancy or a reset.
We believe that genuine connection starts with having the right people in the room, and After Hours is designed with three people in mind:
Anyone who’s feeling disengaged or stuck in their corporate role right now;
Anyone who’s been laid off or made redundant lately; and
Anyone who’s left corporate to go out on their own
The event is all about quality over quantity: keeping numbers small to create better quality conversations, with wine and snacks you’ll actually enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Damn- sorry you missed out this time! We will absolutely be launching more events in the future. Follow us on Instagram to stay tuned for when and where we’ll be launching our next event.
-
Excellent question! For $60- your ticket covers:
- One glass of wine (your choice between bubbles, orange wine or red)- think delicious Italian wines (no Jacobs Creek here!)
- Snacks: focaccia with olive oil, cheese, salami and olives
- Quality conversations and connections with others in a similar position: we want to be really intentional about the people that fill the table to ensure you get the most out of the event -
We’d love to see three types of people fill the table at After Hours:
1. Anyone who’s feeling disengaged or struggling in their corporate role right now
2. Anyone who’s navigating a redundancy/layoff
3. Anyone who’s left corporate to go out on their own -
1000%! This event was made for you. Ideally- I’d love for people to come solo so you can make the most out of the evening and meet new faces!

5.30pm sharp! I know there’s a tendency to arrive 15-30 mins after something starts (so you’re not the awkward first person standing in a room solo). Please don’t do that (and I can confirm I’ll be the first person to arrive, so you won’t beat me 😎). Feedback from our survey suggested that our audience preferred a shorter, more casual event format- so we’ve kept the time short (5.30pm - 7pm)- but we’d love for everyone to arrive at 5.30pm so you don’t miss out on anything!
-
An excellent question- food really is the most important topic (at least I think so). We will be serving pre-dinner snacks: focaccia with olive oil, a selection of cheeses, salami and olives. It’s not dinner- think of it more as pre-dinner grazing. Dietaries? Share these with us when you book your ticket and we’ll ensure the venue caters for you accordingly.

When you arrive at Paski - you’ll see us straight ahead as you walk inside. We’ve booked the long high-top table downstairs (big red table, you can’t miss us), Alex will be there to greet you ;)
-
Unfortunately we’re not able to offer refunds or cancellations once you’ve booked your ticket- but if you can’t attend and you’ve already booked a ticket, you’re more than welcome to transfer that ticket to a friend/colleague of yours instead. If you’re trying to decide if the event is the right fit for you before booking your ticket, feel free to shoot us an email at hello@outofofficecommunity.com and we’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have!
