HARO Happy Hour: Bridging Connections in Scottsdale

Reuniting the HARO Community

HARO (Help a Reporter Out), a cornerstone platform for journalist requests, is once again opening its doors for an evening of meaningful connections in Scottsdale, Arizona. Scheduled for November 19, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. MST, the HARO Happy Hour invites journalists, PR professionals, founders, and experts to gather at Industrious in Scottsdale Fashion Square. This event represents the spirit of collaboration and mutual support within the HARO community, offering a unique opportunity to put faces to names in an industry often driven by virtual interactions. The first event in April 2026 set a vibrant precedent with sixty attendees, prompting HARO to host another gathering before the year's close.

Networking and Engagement Opportunities

The format of the HARO Happy Hour is refreshingly simple, with no formal program or agenda. Attendees can expect a relaxed atmosphere where conversations naturally unfold over provided drinks. Those present will include a diverse mix of PR and communications professionals, media creators, and entrepreneurs from across Arizona. Optional short breakouts will offer insights into how HARO operates and what the platform is building next, catering to both seasoned users and newcomers curious about its functionalities and innovations. This event is a testament to HARO's commitment to fostering a collaborative environment where knowledge and stories are freely exchanged.

Opportunities for Brands

A highlight of the HARO Happy Hour is the inclusion of the HARO Gift Bag, a feature that provides brands with a chance to reach the media-savvy audience in attendance. Brands can apply to have their physical products included in the gift bag at no cost, aside from the responsibility of shipping to Scottsdale. The selection process prioritizes products that align with a PR and media audience, with a preference for a minimum of 35 units, ideally 70 or more. Brands selected for the gift bag will benefit from exposure in the HARO Happy Hour recap article and LinkedIn post, further amplifying their visibility. This initiative underscores HARO's role in supporting brands by facilitating their engagement with influential media professionals.

As the event approaches, anticipation builds for an evening that promises to strengthen professional networks and inspire future collaborations. HARO continues to be a pivotal platform in the media landscape, bridging the gap between journalists and sources.
