Passing the Plate
This is our first in-person gathering since Porch was acquired.
“Passing the Plate” is more than a potluck; it’s a moment to connect, reflect, and begin the next chapter of Porch together. We’ll be sharing a bit about the new direction for Porch, while staying grounded in what has always made this community special: its people.
Entrepreneurs from around the world coming together, each bringing a dish that represents home, tradition, or a story worth sharing. The result is a room full of conversation, laughter, new friendships, and moments you cannot plan but will absolutely remember.
Expect an evening filled with delectable dishes, engaging activities, meaningful conversations, and a room full of great people building something big in a new country.
Whether you’ve been part of Porch for a while, are discovering Porch for the first time, or returning to the community, this is a space to connect, break bread, and be part of what comes next.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
