Chamber After Hours at the Edmonton Fringe is a relaxed yet polished kickoff to your Fringe weekend, set right in the middle of the action at the Maclab Development Group Wine Tent. Trade the boardroom for something a little more colourful — think good wine, better conversation, and the unmistakable buzz of Old Strathcona in full festival swing.

Expect the usual Chamber After Hours experience: complimentary beverages and light bites, a few brief welcome remarks, followed by open-format networking giving you the chance to reconnect with the folks you've been meaning to grab a drink with this summer. Just good people, good energy, and a few tricks up our sleeve. Then, when the formal part wraps, the fun keeps going: head out to grab a bite on Whyte and catch a show at one of the world's largest fringe festivals right here in the heart of the city.

Who's there: Entrepreneurs, executives, and industry leaders who know the best deals happen outside the boardroom — this time, under a wine tent at the Fringe.

The vibe: Cocktail hour crashes the Fringe. Come dressed for both.

The plan: Wine and connection first. Whyte Avenue and curtain-up after.
