Good conversation, cold drinks, and no pitch decks

The evening

A good room makes all the difference.

A Friday gathering with just enough structure to get past the introductions. Come for a series of short conversations, then stay for the courtyard and one more round.

  • Courtyard drinks
  • About 30 guests
  • Friday night pace

The schedule

How the evening will go

Times are approximate. We keep things moving without making the night feel rushed.

  1. Doors open & check-in

    Grab your name card, order a drink, and settle into the room.

  2. A quick welcome

    Your host explains the flow of the night and makes the first introduction easy.

  3. Conversations begin

    A series of short, one-to-one conversations with simple prompts if you want them.

  4. A short intermission

    Refresh your drink, catch your breath, and say hello to someone across the room.

  5. The final rounds

    A few more introductions, with enough time for every conversation to feel unhurried.

  6. Stay a little longer

    The structured part ends and the room opens up for another drink or conversation.
