We meet every 2nd & 4th Wednesday, and we encourage you to come as often as you can.

Question 5

Is it really free?

Question 6

Do I need to RSVP every time?

Accepted Answer

RSVPs help us plan, but they're not required to attend.

What should I bring?

Bring yourself, your energy, and anything that represents you — business cards, flyers, your art, or just your story.
Dress how you feel best. If you want a free headshot, consider wearing something you’d love to see on your LinkedIn or portfolio.

Is this like a traditional networking event?

Nope. This is networking, redefined — built on authenticity, creativity, and collaboration.
Expect connection, inspiration, celebration, and some soul.
