An event promoting creative community growth through celebration.
As Ivy vine grows, it sets roots into the soil deeply and densely, and creates a network of roots which binds the soil, helping to prevent erosion and slippage on slopes. Ivy has the ability to climb almost any vertical surface, clinging by means of aerial roots. Once established Ivy plants will rapidly cover any wall or fence with lush evergreen foliage.
The Ivy Event is excited to promote growing a stable and healthy creative community that is lush and grows rapidly when surrounded with like minded individuals who are interested in building a community, establishing new relationships and supporting local business. The Ivy Event is ready to create a network of roots within the creative industry.

FAQ
What is The Ivy Event?
The Ivy Event offers curated events focusing on bringing the creative community together in an effort to build a network of like minded individuals. The Ivy Event focuses on creating events that are unlike your typically networking events. In fact, we try to stay away from calling any of our events ‘networking events’. We think of our events as more of an opportunity to meet like minded folks in similar industries & entrepreneurs in a casual setting, where dancing & laughing is highly encouraged.

I'm not a creative or entrepreneur, can I still attend the next event?
Absolutely! We don’t check you resume at the door. We encourage any creative or entrepreneur to attend our events. Not sure you’re the creative type and haven’t really started your own business? Join us anyways! We thinking that surrounding yourself with people who are creative and kind is important, and this may be the perfect opportunity for you to meet your bff, hire that photography you’ve been looking for or learn about local businesses in your area.
Is The Ivy Event happening anywhere besides Arizona?
We are currently working on planning events outside of Arizona. The best way to know where our next event is taking place, would be to follow along on our instagram. We share all announcements at @TheIvyEvent.
Who created The Ivy Event?
After attending networking events and feeling discouraged or unwelcome, The Ivy Event was born. Leah & Matt, the founders, thought that a quiet conference room with sticker name tags was very cold. Why couldn’t their be a FUN event where dancing, music, cocktails and food were part of the night, to make introductions to new people so much easier. Leah & Matt are excited to host events that focus on the importance of building a creative community and bringing entrepreneurs together to collaborate and inspire each other.
When is your next Ivy Event?
We are constantly working on new events and planning our next one behind the scenes. The best way to know when our next event is taking place, would be to follow along on our instagram. We share all announcements at @TheIvyEvent.
I have a great idea for an event, can we work together?
The Ivy Event loves to work with local businesses in sponsorship, planning ideas, and more. Think you’ve got a fun idea but not quite sure how to execute it? Let us help! Email us here and let’s get the conversation started.
Why do I have to purchase a ticket?
Tickets are required for all of our events. We have curated a team of businesses and individuals to help us throw an exceptional event. In order to do the best job we can, we’ve got to pay our vendors for their hard work, time & dedication to our events. All ticket purchases go towards the final budget of every event.
I bought a ticket to your next event, but something came up. Can I get a refund?
All tickets are non refundable. However, we know things happen. Tickets are transferable, so that gives you the option to either sell your ticket to someone else or gift it. All we ask is that we get the name of whomever is taking your place to ensure they’re on the guest list to that event.
