📣 Hearsay is a new curated newsletter featuring the best business and policy networking events happening in Toronto.
This city is a hub for high-profile events, but there’s no easy way to see what’s happening on any given week. It’s mostly a word-of-mouth game.
Our mission is to:
Connect professionals in Toronto with a curated list of the best events for networking and industry insights.
Make the return to in-office days more purposeful, so we can revitalize the downtown core together in a meaningful way.
Help fill the right rooms with the right people.
Below is the first edition of our newsletter. Hit subscribe so you don’t miss out on the best events this city has to offer. 🚀
