P2 Palooza Social Event (Thursday only)

Open to individuals who are not attending the P2 Palooza conference

Join us at the Grindstone Comedy Theatre & Bistro (10019 81 Ave NW) for an evening of networking and improv theatre!

Public engagement and improv theatre have lots in common – they turn passive observers into active participants, build strong collaborative communication, and show that connection can, and should, be meaningful and fun! To kick-off the 2026 P2-Palooza, IAP2 Canada Wild Rose is hosting a special improv show: Public Engagement Edition! Join us for an evening of top-tier comedy featuring the city's best improvisers, performing hilarious, unscripted scenes based on your wildest suggestions. Expect guaranteed laughs, plenty of interactive moments, and some of the sharpest comedy around. Stop by ahead of time for a unique engagement-themed cocktail and networking opportunity. Registration includes a ticket to the show and a free drink ticket. 

Networking: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p,m.

Show Time: 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.
