Ready to GET Festive?

Our most anticipated event of 2025 is coming up fast! Taking place on Wednesday, October 22, we're taking over Sunbar Tempe and bringing together the best of GET Phoenix for one incredible night.

Here are five reasons why you, and other young professionals in your life, can't miss GET Festive 2025:

1. Meet 150+ Like-Minded Young Professionals

At GET Festive, you'll connect with local young professionals from all industries, professions, and walks of life. Like all GET Phoenix events, we offer a relaxed, approachable, and engaging environment to make new connections with people who share your drive and passion for success. One conversation could spark your next career move, or even a lifelong friendship. That won't happen from the couch at home!

2. Exclusive Keynote from Hospitality and Tech Trailblazer, Ed Wu

Eager to carve your own path but don't know the right next step? Look no further than this year's keynote speaker: Ed Wu. Ed is the founder of Empire Scottsdale, a private social club and coworking space in Scottsdale; co-founder of Side Real Estate, a real estate technology company valued at $2.5 billion; and Vidyard, a video platform used by over 250,000 businesses and supported by 200+ employees. A trailblazer in both hospitality and tech, Ed will share his insights on entrepreneurship, community-building, and much more with practical takeaways that young professionals can apply immediately.

3. Raise Funds for the Valleywise Health Foundation

At its heart, GET Festive has always been about more than networking; it's about bringing people together for community impact. This year, we're proud to support the Valleywise Health Foundation, a Phoenix-based nonprofit dedicated to providing financial support for critical patient and program needs. From mental health services to burn care to life-changing community health initiatives, we're stoked to help fund essential programs that bring hope and healing to thousands of Arizonans every year. With every raffle ticket you buy, 100% of raffle proceeds go directly to the Valleywise Health Foundation.

4. Enjoy Drinks, Eats, and Raffle Prizes

What's a great networking event without great eats, cold drinks, raffle prizes, a DJ, and much more? GET Festive is hosted at Sunbar Tempe, known for its vibrant atmosphere in the heart of Tempe on ASU's campus. As DJ Lilax keeps the vibe alive, you'll enjoy delicious finger foods, one complimentary drink, and the chance to win big with some seriously exciting raffle prizes—not your typical office swag!

5. Seize Career-Defining Opportunities

Whether you're seeking new job prospects, mentorship, or partnerships, the dynamic energy and atmosphere at GET Festive can spark meaningful conversations and open doors to your future. You never know who you'll meet or where that interaction might lead. Missing this event means missing out on opportunities that could significantly impact your career and personal growth.

Whether you're coming to expand your network, enjoy inspiring keynotes, support a local cause, or simply have a fun Wednesday evening, GET Festive is the event for you.

Let’s get festive together—see you at Sunbar Tempe!
