What are the members like?

Ours is a diverse group of individuals from an array of backgrounds, experiences, and professions. All of them share the desire to have a good time and meet other professionals in the area. Just go to events that you enjoy, and you will meet people that share your interests.

What is the age range of your members?

We have different groups covering different age ranges. Our core group is comprised of individuals primarily between the ages of 25 and 39, but we also hold separate events for people ages 21 to 29 and for people ages 35 and up. Here is the breakdown of our three age groups:

Young Professionals in the City (Ages 21 - 29)
Professionals in the City (Ages 25 - 39)
Seasoned Professionals in the City (Ages 35 Plus)

Do I have to attend events for my age range?

No. The age ranges are simply suggested parameters to help you find the group most suitable for you and the events that you will feel most comfortable attending. You are welcome to attend any event. We also sometimes offer events that overlap two suggested age ranges or that cover only part of a suggested age range.

Do I have to be single?

Many of our members are single, but it is certainly not a requirement. Couples and groups of friends are welcome to attend our events together. Approximately 70 percent of our members are single and 30 percent are in relationships.

Do I have to live or work in the city to join your organization?

Of course not! If you know that you will be traveling and want to have some fun and meet people in a city you are visiting, we encourage you to check our website in advance to find events that interest you.

I don't know anyone in Professionals in the City. Can I attend events alone?

Absolutely! In fact, the majority of our members do so, which is why it is our aim to create a comfortable and enjoyable environment for all you professionals to meet and get to know each other. In fact, if you let us know when you check in that you would like to be introduced around, we will introduce you to other people who have made a similar request.

How do I sign up for an event I want to attend?

Just click on our Order Form button or click here. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover through our secure server. You will receive a confirmation email shortly after your information is processed. If you do not receive a confirmation, it could be that your ISP is blocking our emails from getting through to you. You can always log on to our website to confirm which events you are signed up for. You can also purchase tickets by calling 202-686-5990 or contacting us at dc@prosinthecity.com to find out where you can send a check made out to Professionals in the City. We do accept cash at the door for some of our events, but if you decide not to purchase tickets in advance we cannot guarantee that space will be available. Also, the price is frequently higher at the door than it is for advance purchases.

If I reach a voicemail message when I call the PNC line, when can I expect my call to be returned?

If you reach our voicemail, please leave a message. We check our voicemail regularly, and someone will promptly return your call. You can usually expect a call back from us within two hours of leaving your message.

What happens if I am late or miss an event that I already paid for?

We apologize, but we cannot give you a refund or credit if you sign up for an event and are unable to attend at the last minute. This is true even if you are ill, hit traffic, have a personal emergency, or otherwise are unable to attend the event. The reason for this is that we are normally required to pay for your presence in advance.

Since we do not offer refunds or credits, please allocate enough time so that you do not miss out on the fun. If you cannot attend an event, you are welcome to transfer your ticket for that event to somebody else. Just let us know in advance the name of the person you want to transfer your ticket to. The only time we cannot permit ticket transfers is when we are prohibited from doing so, which happens sometimes with airline tickets, certain embassies that require advance security checks on all names, and similar activities.

Do you mail tickets?

No. We put your name on a list that our representatives use to check you in at the door. We also email you a confirmation when you place your order, and we request that you bring a printout of your confirmation to the event. We suggest adding us to your Address Book so that confirmations do not end up in your Junk Folder as a result of SPAM filters.

What do I do if I have a great idea for an event?

We would love to hear your ideas. If your recommended event is something that we think most of our members would enjoy, we will try our best to make it happen. Feel free to email your thoughts to us at dc@prosinthecity.com.

How do I know if an event is cancelled due to rain or other poor weather?

If you are in doubt about the weather for an event, please check our website or check our voicemail at 202-686-5990. If this event is postponed due to adverse weather, the website and our outgoing recording will both state that this event has been postponed due to adverse weather. If the website and our outgoing recording do not both explicitly state that the event has been postponed due to adverse weather, it means that this event is still going on as scheduled.
