The Overview

In light of the recent downturn in New York City's economy, Get Canned will offer an entertaining and charitable networking event for those affected. This event is open to everyone, from downsized professionals and potential employers to those new to the job market. Get Canned also welcomes those with fantastic, secure jobs to come mingle, enjoy and support The Food Bank For New York City.

Being laid off, or 'getting canned,' rarely has a positive side to it, but Get Canned embraces the theme - collecting canned goods in place of a cover charge, offering canned beers and gourmet hors d'oeuvres made from traditional canned foods, and sending guests home with eco-friendly gift bags with various goodies, such as pink slips.

Guests at Get Canned will have access to entertainment, social networking, career support for the unemployed, and potential applicants for the employer.
