Here & Now: A Phone-Free Experience (NYC)
You spend your days building, thinking, pushing.
Always plugged in. Always on.
But deep down, you’re craving something that can’t be found on a screen.
So what if you took a break?
What to Expect:
A curated, phone-free social experience for ambitious people who want more out of their time offline.
No notifications. No distractions. Just great people, deep conversations, and a menu of cocktails (NA included) and snacks available for purchase.
Upon arrival, you'll check your phone with us for safekeeping. From there, your only job is to be fully present.
Note: This venue is a 21+ venue and will be checking IDs at the door.
Who’s Invited:
Growth-minded and kind builders, founders, thinkers, and creatives. The curious and the intentional.
If you're craving real relationships with people who get it, you’ll feel right at home.
This isn’t a networking event. This is a place to feel human again.
Can I come alone?
Yes! Many people come alone and leave with a long list of people they actually want to see again.
Where:
East Village, NYC. Address released upon approval.
Date & Time:
November 6th, 7-930pm EST
