HARO Happy Hour Returns to Scottsdale, and Brands Can Enter the HARO Gift Bag for Free

HARO (Help a Reporter Out), the journalist request platform owned by Featured.com, will host HARO Happy Hour on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. MST at Industrious in Scottsdale Fashion Square, 7014 E Camelback Rd Suite B100A, Scottsdale, Arizona. Admission is free with RSVP. Sixty people attended the first HARO Happy Hour at the same location on April 16, 2026.

RSVP at https://luma.com/glcd3i3y.

HARO Happy Hour is an in-person gathering for the people who use HARO on both sides of a query: the journalists who post requests and the PR professionals, founders, and experts who answer them. The April event filled the room, so HARO is hosting a second one before the end of the year.

"Our first HARO Happy Hour showed us how much the people who use HARO want to meet each other in person. Journalists and the sources who answer them work together every day through HARO queries, and this is a chance to put faces to names," said Brett Farmiloe, founder and CEO of Featured.com, which owns HARO.

There is no program and no agenda. Drinks are provided by HARO. Attendees can expect:

• Conversations with PR, communications, and media professionals from across Arizona

• Optional short breakouts on how HARO works and what the HARO team is building next

Anyone who has used HARO, pitched through HARO, responded to a HARO query, or wondered how the platform operates. That includes:

• PR and communications professionals

• Journalists and media creators

• Founders, marketers, and operators

• Anyone with a good HARO story

Every guest leaves with a HARO Gift Bag. Brands can apply to include a physical product. There is no fee to be in the HARO Gift Bag. Brands supply the product and cover shipping to Scottsdale. Products are selected on fit for a PR and media audience, and the minimum is 35 units, with 70 or more preferred. Selected brands are named, with a link, in the HARO Happy Hour recap article and mentioned in the recap post on LinkedIn, and each may include a branded gift tag or sticker with its product that tells guests about the brand. Products must arrive by Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026.
