Our goals for the Richmond Curious series:

• Promote the downtown area and businesses like yours that flourish in a thriving city.
• Bring people in the city together in a curated, engaging and structured networking experience. Let’s get in a room and create connections!
• Gather is a community hub - we want to invite outside businesses into our space and create intentional connections between our member business owners and our amazing downtown community.

If this sounds like a fit, we invite you to join us at the next Richmond Curious! Doors will open at 8:20 am and we'll begin promptly at 8:35 am. If you join us, feel free to stick around for a free day of coworking.
