Where It All Began

As summer drew to a close, we gathered a carefully considered group of Toronto's founders, professionals and creatives for an unhurried evening — drinks in hand, good music in the air, and better conversation all around.

You know how to work hard. We know how to have fun.

Set in East York, Toronto, the Afro-Editorial Garden Social was designed for those who appreciate good conversation, great atmosphere, and the opportunity to spend an evening among interesting people.

No Itinerary. No Formalities.

Hosts were on hand throughout the evening to make introductions when the moment called for it — but for the most part, the evening found its own rhythm. People lingered longer than planned. Conversations went somewhere.

It was exactly what we set out to create — a room where the right people simply happened to find themselves together.

Just the kind of evening you still talk about come September.
