What Is Industry Remix?
The Industry Remix Series brings together professionals from different fields for meaningful, cross-industry connection. Each event pairs two distinct sectors to create conversations you wouldn’t normally find in traditional networking spaces.
These mixers are designed to feel welcoming, relaxed, and intentional — focused on real connection, fresh perspectives, and community impact.
Why It Matters
When people with different experiences and perspectives come together, stronger communities are built. Industry Remix creates space for:
New relationships across industries
Creative collaboration and idea sharing
Community-focused partnerships
A fresh alternative to traditional networking
Strengthening Rhode Island’s local ecosystem
The Industry Remix Series launches with a powerful pairing — educators and small business owners — two groups that shape Rhode Island’s neighborhoods every day.
This mixer brings teachers, school staff, administrators, tutors, and education advocates together with local entrepreneurs, makers, retailers, and service providers to spark collaboration, share resources, and build stronger community connections.
