Marquita Thomas is hosting an Out for Businesses professional networking mixer event this Wednesday, March 8, 2023, from 6:30pm to 9pm. The mixer is taking place at Micky’s Weho, located at 8857 Santa Monica Blvd. The atmosphere will be held at a private space in the second floor area overlooking Santa Monica Boulevard in the Rainbow District of West Hollywood.
“Networking mixers are excellent places to meet fellow business professionals, develop contacts and strategic alliances, and socialize with like-minded LGBTQ and allied entrepreneurs,” says Thomas. “This is a professional mixer to help LGBTQ and allies with small businesses get visibility. We can get together, build community, as well as grow our businesses. Everyone is welcome to this event.”
As a former Executive director of the Los Angeles LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, Thomas has organized roughly 200 networking events. “I know the importance of these mixers,” she said. “People can’t do business with you if they don’t know you exist. People want to get into business with people they trust and the best way for people to trust you is if they meet you and get to know you.”
Thomas said she chose Micky’s WeHo because it is one of the oldest, most successful LGBTQ establishments in The Greater Los Angeles County. “We wanted to do it in a place that is inclusive and also inside a space that everyone knows. The event is sponsored by Ketel One [vodka], so all of the attendees will be able to enjoy complimentary cocktails and Micky’s is also providing appetizers. It will be an opportunity for people to nosh, have a cocktail and connect with new business people. Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend.”
Thomas also highly encourages all of the attendees to bring plenty of business cards to pass around.
Tickets to the mixer are $20. Tickets can be purchased by clicking the link below:
