frequently asked questions
do i need a membership?
Nope! There's no membership. Our events are open to everyone.
do i need to rsvp to an event?
Sometimes. Many events are drop-in, but if an event needs a headcount, we’ll include it in the event details.
what if i don't know anyone?
No problem! Every event has a designated Community Manager to welcome you, make introductions, and help you feel at home.
can I come alone?
Absolutely. Many people do. You’ll never be left on your own.
is there an age requirement?
Our events are for adults. Some have age restrictions if alcohol is being served, and we’ll always list those details on the event page.
our event venue sponsors
We wouldn’t be able to bring the community together without the support of the amazing venues that open their doors to us. From coffee shops and bars to studios and bookstores, these partners give us the space to connect, share, and grow together.
new to our events?
We get it. Showing up to something new can feel a little intimidating, whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert. That’s why every event has a dedicated Community Manager ready to greet you, make introductions, and help you feel at home. Lots of people come on their own, and most leave with new friends.
