Want a WSO meetup in your city?

It's easy to set up...just choose a bar and a date and create an event HERE, and we'll help you promote it! We are also looking for "social chairs" in cities around North America and the world to help host WSO meetups. PM me for more details.

prudentinvestorNot to be that guy but...

Are these like come in a tee and jeans events

or

wear a decent dress/sport shirts and khaki's events?

It's at a bar, hard to tell.

Anything short of a full three-piece suit is welcome.

BCbankerCoogan's can be tough on a Thursday night. Hella packed with interns (i guess they have pretty much wrapped up) and analysts.

we need some sort of hand signal...or banana hats

I say one must greet another monkey with a Tool Time Grunt from home improvement. No way anyone can mistake us for someone else.

Maybe just look for the group that's actually having fun. If I wanted a 'serious' networking environment, I'd be at an industry meeting or getting coffee at lunchtime. WSO is literally the oasis for people in finance, come drink, meet some people, and learn some things.

Or banana hammocks; that solves 'prudent investor's' problem too

Doesn't look like I'm making it out of the office any time soon. Hopefully catch you guys at the next one.
