Private professional community

The Mixer Relationships Before Transactions.

A cross-industry community where people connect between events β€” and business, when it happens, grows out of trust. Membership is invite-only.

Home base

The Mixer Network

Built around one idea: Relationships Before Transactions. The private LinkedIn group is the community home base. This app is built to service its needs β€” stay connected, show up for experiences, and keep conversations going between gatherings.

1

Connect between events

Continue conversations, exchange ideas, ask questions, share resources, make introductions, and find collaborators.

2

Show up for experiences

Invitations, registration details, and Zoom links for upcoming Mixer formats live with the community β€” not buried in inboxes.

3

Let opportunity follow trust

Referrals, partnerships, jobs, clients, mentorships, and unexpected openings are welcome. Transactions are an outcome of relationships β€” not the price of admission.

Community

What this space is for

Use The Mixer to stay connected, participate, contribute, and get to know the people behind the profiles.

Continue the conversation

Pick up where an event left off. Ask questions, share what you have learned, and keep useful threads alive between gatherings.

Make introductions

Connect people who should know each other. Celebrate wins. Discover collaborators and opportunities inside the community.

Share what helps

Recommend resources, offer perspective, and post opportunities that members might genuinely benefit from.

Find the next Mixer

Event invitations, registration, and Zoom links stay in the community so members know where to show up.

Stay cross-industry

Different professions, backgrounds, and perspectives are not boxes to sort into. They are part of the point.

Protect the room

Private group. Posts require approval. Member lists are not prospecting databases β€” and DMs are not billboards.

Experiences

Mixer experiences

From Ideas in the Mix and Stir the Pot to Crossed Paths, The Hot Seat, In Good Company, collaborative roundtables, and formats we will introduce as the community grows.

Ideas in the Mix

Bring unfinished thoughts into the room and sharpen them with people who think differently than you.

Stir the Pot

Challenge assumptions. Surface tension. Leave with sharper questions and better conversations.

Crossed Paths

Meet people you would not have met otherwise β€” across industries, roles, and ways of working.

The Hot Seat

Put a real problem in front of the room and get focused, useful input from the community.

In Good Company

Smaller gatherings for deeper connection β€” the kind that turns acquaintances into relationships.

Collaborative roundtables

Work a question together. Contribute. Leave with perspective you could not get alone.

“Business can absolutely happen here. So can referrals, partnerships, jobs, clients, collaborations, mentorships, introductions, and unexpected opportunities. But transactions are an outcome of relationships, not the price of admission.”

How it fits

Community on LinkedIn. Continuity here.

The Mixer Network lives as a private LinkedIn group. This app is built to service that community β€” so members can stay connected, enter rooms, and carry the culture of Relationships Before Transactions into every Mixer experience.

1

LinkedIn is home base

Posts, introductions, event details, and ongoing conversation stay in the private group where members already gather.

2

This app serves the need

Walk into rooms, keep presence with people you know from the Network, and support the experiences the community runs.

3

Same culture, both places

Participate. Contribute. Connect. Do not treat people β€” or the member list β€” as a prospecting database.

Rules

Community rules

The basic idea is not complicated: Participate. Contribute. Connect. Do not be a pain in the ass. Specific expectations for individual events may vary and will be shared with the event information.

This is the foundation of The Mixer Network. Business, referrals, collaborations, and opportunities are welcome. What is not welcome is treating the group or its member list as a prospecting database. Transactions are an outcome of relationships, not the price of admission.

Do not use the feed as a billboard. Sharing your work, events, or opportunities can be relevant when it contributes something useful. Repeated promotional posts, generic advertising, link dumping, and content posted solely to generate leads may be removed.

Being in the same private LinkedIn group is not automatic permission to send someone a sales pitch. Connect with people. Start conversations. Follow up after events. Introduce yourself. Do not carpet-bomb the member list with unsolicited promotional DMs.

Ask questions. Start conversations. Share what you have learned. Request input. Offer perspective. Make an introduction. Post an opportunity. Recommend a resource. Help someone solve something. You do not have to post constantly β€” but the community becomes more valuable when members contribute rather than simply consume.

Looking for a collaborator, employee, contractor, mentor, speaker, expert, introduction, recommendation, or new opportunity? Ask. Found something members might genuinely benefit from? Share it. The Mixer is supposed to create opportunities. The difference is between creating value and extracting attention.

Upcoming Mixer events, registration information, Zoom links, and other event details will be shared here. Do not distribute private event links or member-only information outside the group unless the post specifically says it is open to guests or sharing is encouraged.

Different perspectives are encouraged. Intelligent disagreement makes conversations better. Personal attacks, harassment, discrimination, and deliberately disrespectful behaviour do not. Debate the idea without attacking the person.

Do not repost screenshots, private conversations, personal information, or something another member has shared in confidence without their permission. It is a private group for a reason.
