I've had this idea sitting in my head for a while now.
What if instead of another conference-style networking event, we just had dinner? 6 of us, at least 2 hours, no agenda, non-performative. The best conversations I've had in this industry never happened in a room full of a hundred people. They happened across a table, plate of food between us, with nothing else to do but actually talk. Let's try it!
Maybe you meet someone who's been through exactly what you're going through right now. Maybe you learn something about a part of the industry you've never really knew about. Maybe some tunnel vision you didn't even know you had gets a little wider.
Either way, you leave having gotten to know five people a lot better than when you sat down, and you never quite know where a conversation like that leads.
This only works if the people who sign up actually show up. So if something comes up and you can't make it, please just let me know so I can offer your seat to someone waiting for one. I won't take it personally at all, I just want to make sure the people who really want to be there get the chance.
Only 5 seats (first 5 signups). After that, you're on the waitlist, and I'll open it up when a seat frees up.
If this first one goes well, I'd love to make it a regular thing. Monthly, maybe?
