Hey everyone, Spring is here, and it feels like the right time to bring some fresh energy back into the NYC IRL community. I got together recently with @Rositsa Aleksandrova @Jack Shiller @Chanie Twersky @Heidi Reagan to talk about what this community could become, and the clearest theme was simple: people are hungry for real connection. To start, we’re thinking about hosting regular virtual meetups so we can reconnect, hear everyone’s ideas, and get a better sense of what people would actually want from future IRL gatherings. So I’d love to hear from you: What time on Sundays would you be most likely to join a casual NYC IRL virtual meetup? Excited for what’s ahead, Michael

Join me this Thursday, April 30th from 7-8pm EST for a viritual meetup to discuss taking part in shaping the next several NYC meetups. This isn’t a formal role. It’s a way to get more involved, meet people more deeply, and help shape the experience—it'll be a total brainstorm session and all ideas are welcome! I'd like to personally invite @Chanie Twersky @Simon Hegener @Jack Shiller @Dessi Schachne @Jake Howard @Bruno Militz @Talgat Mussin @Pam Yang, she-her @Jonathan Twombly @Paul Schaffenberger @Justino Rodriguez @Maxwell Riseman @Razaak Eniola @Mete Olmez @Robbie Sko @Patty Rose @Anna Sabino @Danila Kharlamov @Loral Langemeier @Heidi Reagan @Charley Tichenor @Rositsa Aleksandrova @Goose Dunlavey @Matt Fried You don’t need experience, and you don’t need to “run” anything. I’m just looking for a few people who: - Enjoy bringing people together - Want to be more involved in the NYC community - Like being engaged during the event (introductions, conversation, energy) If that sounds like you, please join us!

I would like to establish the rhythm of a monthly IRL meetup. I'm looking for co-hosts to collaborate with over the next 6 months. I'd like to schedule a meetup with interested people, and brainstorm how to get the most out of our time together between April and September. I would love to host a joint event with @Brian Rushalski @Sam Greiner (NJ mayors) and @Michael Impagliazzo (Philly mayor) within the next 6 months. Need co-hosts for: 👉 April 18th: 👉 May 16th: 👉 June 20th: 👉 July 25th: 👉 August 15th (tentative): 👉 September 19th:

Hey beautiful New Yorkers and nearby, Let’s get a sense of where we’re all located and how close we are to one another. I’m in Rockland County, New York. What about you? Where are you based?
