Join us for a night of free drinks, food, fun and real retail connections — hosted by the fast-growing Retail WhatsApp Community. No pitches, No speakers, Just good times.

What started as a small group chat has exploded into the place where retailers connect, share, laugh, and collaborate. Now we’re bringing that energy to real life!

From 5pm to 8pm this event is Retailers & Brands Only and strictly limited to 150 people. After 8pm all welcome. Entry is free, but you must register here to secure your spot. Free drinks will run until our bar tab runs out.

Walk-ins may be allowed if space permits — but if you don’t register and miss out, prepare for serious FOMO when the group chat fills with 3 million selfies the next day.

📍 To attend:

You must register here
You must be a retailer or brand to enter before 8pm (service providers, retailers and brands welcome anytime after 8pm)
You ticket from this site will be checked on arrival and you will be asked to verify you're part of the WhatsApp community

🟢 Not yet in the group? Join here (open to both retailers, brands & service providers):
