Entrepreneurs Industry Night is back — Sip & Style Edition.

Picture this: a private mocktail masterclass, a behind-the-scenes look at custom tailoring, great nibbles, and a room full of Calgary entrepreneurs to connect with. It's a relaxed, hands-on evening built around craftsmanship and conversation.

🗓️ August 6 | 5:30–8 PM | Rivaado Bespoke Wear

Come spend an evening at Rivaado Bespoke Wear that's equal parts learning, styling, and genuinely good conversation!

You'll get an inside look at what goes into a true bespoke suit from the owner himself, a little accessorizing guidance, and a private mocktail tutorial with Spirit of the W***h. Sip something delicious, snack on some nibbles, and connect with fellow entrepreneurs along the way.

Everyone who attends also gets 50% off garments and 30% off shoes that night. 👔🥂

What a Stampede.

We had the absolute best time connecting with members, partners, and new friends from across the Exmerce network at this year's Calgary Stampede. There is nothing quite like getting to put faces to names and share an experience like this together.

To everyone who came out, stopped to say hello, or took a photo with us — thank you. These are the moments that remind us why we built this community in the first place.

The network is growing, the energy is real, and we cannot wait for what the rest of 2026 has in store.

See you at the next one. 🤠

Sip, style, and network with the entrepreneurs who get it. 🥂✂️

Join us at Rivaado Bespoke Wear on Thursday, August 6 (5:30–8 PM) for Entrepreneurs Industry Night: Sip & Style Edition!

Let’s be honest: what actually happens to a business card after you walk away? 🕵️‍♂️

You’re at a networking event, the energy is high, you have a great conversation, and you exchange cards. Smooth.

But once you get back to your car or office, reality sets in. We want to know your true post-event routine! Are you a master of organization, or are you part of the statistic?

Fess up in the comments! 👇 Where do business cards go to live out their days in your world?

While Calgary's deep in Stampede mode, our Edmonton network has been busy this week building some awesome connections of their own!
