Monthly 100% networking event — making and receiving referrals with like-minded businesses in Ottawa

B2B Mixer Ottawa — 100% Networking. Real Conversations. Real Referrals.

A monthly 100% networking event for making and receiving referrals with like-minded businesses in Ottawa.

No speakers. No slide decks. No sitting in rows for an hour before you get to talk to anyone. Just focused conversation with business owners who are actively looking to refer work — and to be referred.

Why B2B Mixer is different

Most networking events are a small amount of networking wrapped in a lot of everything else. We cut the everything else. The whole session is the networking — meeting the people most likely to send business your way, and working out who you can send business to.

What you'll walk away with

• Introductions to business owners and decision-makers across Ottawa who are actively building referral relationships
• A clear idea of who in the room can refer you — and who you can refer
• A handful of genuine follow-ups, rather than a stack of cards that never get used
• The kind of long-term relationships that keep sending work back to you

Who comes

Business owners | Directors | Consultants | Freelancers | Sales professionals | Service providers | Anyone whose business grows on referrals

How it works

Arrive, get a drink at the bar, and start talking. It is relaxed, structured enough that nobody ends up stranded in a corner, and pointed entirely at connecting the right people to each other.

Your ticket is free — we simply ask that you buy a drink at the bar.

Where: The Laff, 42 York Street, Ottawa, ON, K1N 5S6

Bring: Your business cards, and a clear idea of the referral you are looking for

About the venue

A long-established ByWard Market pub, rated 4.4 from over 2,100 reviews and inexpensive. Open 11am to 2am every day. It runs live music and operates as an event venue, and the room is described as a proper dive bar: characterful and loud rather than polished.

Getting there

The venue is in the ByWard Market, a short walk from Rideau and Parliament. The nearest O-Train station, Tremblay, is 3.4km away beside the VIA rail station, so the practical route is Line 1 to Rideau and a walk from there. The PreciseParklink garage at 22 York Street is essentially next door, a minute away and open 24 hours, though its reviews on cleanliness and night rates are poor.

Doors from 5pm. Come early, stay as long as it is useful.
