Join your peers for conversations on AI, Cincinnati’s tech ecosystem, and more on:

🚀 The Kickoff: Monday, June 8 — Connect with peers and map out your week ahead

🎉 The Finale: Thursday, June 11 — Debrief, unwind, and celebrate the week together!

How it works:

1️⃣ Take the quick quiz: Complete a fast assessment, and we'll match you with a small table at a local restaurant based on similar interests, work, and focus.

2️⃣ We handle logistics: We book the restaurants and get you to the table. You simply cover your own meal, drinks, and a small booking fee.

3️⃣ Connect authentically: Pure peer-to-peer conversation. No slide decks, no pitches—just good food and unscripted conversation with peers.

4️⃣ Unlock the secret after-party: Midway through dinner, your table gets a text revealing a secret location. Every single dinner table across the city converges on one spot to end the night together.

Building a true community starts with individual connections. Pull up a chair and help us build it!
