Last Sunday, ERIEC hosted an exciting Networking in the Park event in collaboration with the RBC team at Queen Elizabeth Park. Despite the scorching heat, the event was a resounding success, attracting over seventy enthusiastic participants who braved the weather to enjoy a day of connection and community.
The event was designed to foster networking and mentorship in a relaxed, family-friendly environment. Attendees enjoyed a variety of delicious food and refreshing beverages, making the hot day more pleasant and the experience even more enjoyable. The positive feedback from participants was overwhelming, with many expressing their appreciation for the opportunity to connect with industry professionals and fellow newcomers.
One of the highlights of the event was the strong sense of community that was evident throughout the day. The relaxed setting of the park provided a unique backdrop for meaningful conversations and networking. Despite the heat, people were eager to stay longer, continuing their discussions and making new connections.
The success of the Networking in the Park event underscores the importance of networking and mentorship for newcomers. It was a testament to the power of these connections in building a supportive professional community. ERIEC’s commitment to creating opportunities for newcomers to connect, share experiences, and build relationships was clearly demonstrated by the positive energy and engagement of the attendees.
We look forward to organizing more events that bring together professionals and newcomers in Edmonton, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for career growth and community building.
