Ottawa Events This Week (Aug 26–29): Marketing Mixer, Paint Night & Social Mixers for 20s–30s

Making friends, building a network, or finding fun things to do in Ottawa can be tough—especially if you’re in your 20s or 30s. That’s where we come in.

At the National Social Networking Group, we’ve hosted 150+ events in Ottawa alone and over 400 internationally, helping thousands of young professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and newcomers find their community.

This week (Aug 26–29, 2025), we’re bringing you four unique events—from a marketing strategy workshop for entrepreneurs to a paint night social for creatives, plus two Friday night mixers where you’ll meet 30+ people in one night.

Whether you’re here to grow your business, try something creative, or simply meet new people, there’s an event for you.

📈 Tuesday, Aug 26 – Marketing Mixer & Strategy Workshop

Who it’s for: Entrepreneurs, freelancers, and professionals in their 20s–30s.
Instead of handing out name tags and leaving you on your own, this event blends structured networking with a hands-on workshop designed to give you new strategies for your business.

Why attend:

  • Learn practical marketing tips you can apply right away

  • Meet like-minded entrepreneurs and collaborators

  • Expand your professional circle in Ottawa

🎨 Wednesday, Aug 27 – Paint Night & Bubble Tea Social

Who it’s for: Students, creatives, and anyone looking for a fun mid-week escape.

  • A creative night out that beats staying in

🤝 Friday, Aug 29 – Young Professionals Networking Event

Who it’s for: Recent grads, early-career professionals, and ambitious young entrepreneurs.
This event goes beyond surface-level networking—you’ll meet people who actually want to connect.

  • Meet peers outside your 9–5 environment

🎉 Friday, Aug 29 – Fun & Relaxed Social Mixer for 20s–30s

Who it’s for: Anyone in Ottawa’s 20s–30s crowd looking to expand their social circle.

  • Meet 30+ people in one night

  • Enjoy structured icebreakers that make conversations easy

  • Continue the fun with a possible after-party

🌟 Why Our Events Are Different

Most events in Ottawa either focus only on business or are just loud bar nights where you stick with who you came with. Our mixers are different:

  • Every event is structured to make meeting new people effortless

  • Friendly hosts welcome you and help with introductions

  • Icebreakers and group activities ensure nobody feels left out

  • Rated ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5/5 by over 1,000 attendees

👉 Don’t Miss Out

Whether you’re here for business, creativity, or connection, our events consistently sell out. Don’t wait—reserve your spot now and discover why so many people call us Ottawa’s top social networking group for 20s and 30s.
