I'm Alex, the co-founder of Upstream. Today we are releasing a new Event Format called Holiday Mixer. There is no denying that holiday parties definitely will look different this year. We took our Video Breakout format and gave it a festive makeover to ensure you are still able to celebrate safely and seamlessly. Happy to answer any questions and feel free to hit me up directly if you want to set this up for your company or community!

This is such a good idea to still see people and network while remote during the holidays!

Insanely timely - what a fantastic idea!!!!

So excited to use this format for my groups and bookclub!

I love Upstream; I've joined more than 100 events this year and hosted 10 of them (check the Serial Marketers group there). I'm excited to host a holiday party too.

Love this - can't wait to use it for groups that I'm a part of!

Congrats @ajt on this launch! been enjoying using Upstream, especially all the breakout rooms. This is an awesome launch. Very timely and needed. Can't wait to participate in some holiday mixers in the coming weeks! ?makers What kinda of updates and new features should we look forward to you in the coming 2 months?

Big like. Brilliant execution to ship this now

This app is amazing! I love their virtual events and mixers. I have seen so many apps that were trying to do some thing like this, particularly when I worked at LinkedIn. I have not seen any app that is so well-designed and user-friendly. I love the short intros after the speaker format. It's a fun, convenient, easy, way to network. I hope this app grows so the matching gets personalized and better with time.

This is awesome and a great way to kickstart the holiday season!! Great work Upstream team!

Very smart. Just curious (and this is as a veteran user of Upstream), are you really just setting up a private Upstream for companies?

nice work @ajt and crew! 👏👏 👏

I've been using Upstreams since October, its a great community. I highly recommend it to skilled professionals looking to meet other highly skilled professionals.

I love Upstream. I've been to over 30 events myself. In fact I love it so much I started an Upstream for San Diego Tech. Having our 2nd event today.

Congrats on the launch! You did an amazing job there!

Alex and his team have built an incredible fun platform for networking that is relevant now more so than ever. Nothing bums me out more than when I have an Upstream event in my calendar and can't attend because of another conflict. You never know who you will meet and thanks to the amazing communities, the high level of professionalism and unique career experiences is unmatched. Every single contact I have made has been of value. This is such a fantastic idea and great way to expand the Upstream universe!
