Popping Up with Downtown London!
We are inviting Downtown London members to take part in our Popping Up Series this summer.

These pop-up activations are all about meeting our corporate members where they are, sharing what is happening downtown, and creating more opportunities to connect. Each visit includes fresh popcorn, downtown event calendars, swag, and interactive elements that help spark conversation and engagement.

We will be popping up in downtown office buildings throughout the summer and are looking to partner with more member workplaces. It is a simple, fun way to connect employees to downtown events, businesses, and experiences, while celebrating the office community that helps keep downtown London moving.

📌 Interested in hosting a pop-up at your workplace? Email Judith Smith at Judith@downtownlondon.ca to learn more!
