This is a special one we are doing with our friends at Communitech!
Why? Because there is nothing like a potluck to bring everyone together. This is real community.
Get ready to be amazed at the biggest PORCH Potluck yet! This vibrant gathering celebrates the rich tapestry of cultures within our international entrepreneurial community and beyond. Join us for an evening filled with delectable dishes, engaging activities, loads of prizes and fun, and meaningful connections with great people.
This isn't your cliché networking event. This is an event you will remember. Let's have some fun.
Culinary Showcase: Everyone brings a dish that represents where you are from and your homeland's flavours.
Fun and Games: From trivia challenges to bingo to family feud, we've done it all! There's no shortage of entertainment. Plus, there are endless prizes and giveaways!
Great People: 100+ entrepreneurs from over 30 countries. Share your stories, experiences, and build lasting relationships in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Photo Booth Fun: Capture the memories with friends new and old!
Delicious Beverages: If you venture over to the PORCH bar, we have some great refreshments for you (responsibly of course)
Raffles & Giveaways: we always give away tons of prizes! Last time we gave away over $5000 worth of prizes and $3000+ in grants
Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate diversity, enjoy delicious food, and expand your network in a fun and informal setting. Whether you're a PORCH member, a friend of one, or just want to come be a part of it, we welcome you to join us for an unforgettable evening.
We look forward to sharing this special night with you!
So get your dishes ready! Time to show off!
Every attendee is required to bring a dish representing where they are from.
