Downtown Diaspora Presents: The Kickback

​Welcome to THE KICKBACK

​Step into an evening where the pressure is off, the energy is easy and good company is all around.

​For our fourth edition, we're creating a little room to exhale. A chance to step away from the usual routine, settle into a different atmosphere and enjoy the simple pleasure of being in a room full of good energy and possibility.

​Think conversations that flow, connections that happen naturally, new faces and the freedom to enjoy the evening at your own pace. No expectations to perform, no pressure to network, no agenda to follow. Just an evening designed to help you slow down, switch gears and enjoy a change of pace.

​Come as you are. Stay awhile. Your people might be right here.

​Oh… and because every good kickback needs a little something extra, we might just have a few things in store.

​We look forward to seeing you there. It’s going to be a good time!
