Great connections. A little competition. A wicked good time.
Who says business networking has to be business as usual?
The Ottawa business community is taking over Manor Lounge for an evening of great connections, friendly competition, Halloween fun, and community celebration!
Join Ottawa's leaders, entrepreneurs and community builders for a Business After 5 that's anything but ordinary.
Challenge a colleague to darts or foosball. Strike a pose in the photo booth. Show off your Halloween spirit in our costume competition. There will be special prizes, plenty of laughs, and opportunities to make connections that count.
Whether you're reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting someone new, this is your chance to unwind, have some fun and grow your network.
Good Times for a Great Cause
We're proud to shine a spotlight on our charitable partner, Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE), an organization making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and youth across our community.
The evening will feature a special reveal of the total funds raised through the annual charity golf tournament hosted by Manor Lounge and Mann Lawyers in support of Ottawa Network for Education.
Join us as we celebrate the generosity of Ottawa's business community and the impact we can make together.
