We made it happen! A small but mightygroup met up tonight to put this event in the books 💪 Big shout our to @Steve Gast for making the trek up here and for Kate for stepping outside of my community to join in the fun! Can't wait for the next one and don't forget about the upcoming IRL this Sunday in Chicago 😊

We’re kicking off the very first SKOOL IRL Milwaukee meetup, and you’re officially invited! 📅 Thursday, December 18th 📍 Ope! Brewing Co. (6751 W National Ave, West Allis 53214) ⏰ 4:00 PM–8:00 PM (…or later if we’re vibing) Why Ope!? Because there’s plenty of free parking, a food truck, and -- most importantly --🍺 everyone gets a drink ticket for a free beer. Yes. Free. Beer. (You're welcome.) It's also dog friendly, so feel free to bring your pup! 🐕 This meetup is a super casual hangout where you can: • Meet fellow Milwaukee Skoolers • Make real connections beyond the platform • Talk projects, ideas, goals, and life • Chill, chat, and kick off our IRL community Come for the beer. Stay for the people. Let’s make our first IRL event one to remember! Drop a comment if you're coming so we know who to look for! 🎟️⭐

This space exists for Milwaukee-area SKOOL members who want to take the community offline and build real, face-to-face connection in MKE. Whether you're here to collaborate, learn, network, or just meet like-minded people in the city, you’re in the right place! Here’s what you can expect inside this IRL chapter: Monthly in-person meetups 👥 - Casual gatherings, coffee chats, workshops, and pop-up hangs designed to spark real conversation and real growth Local collaboration + accountability 🎯 - Find people near you who are building, creating, and leveling up. Share ideas, trade support, and team up on projects Milwaukee-focused discussions 🧀🦌🍺 - Events, opportunities, resources, and conversations relevant to our city and surrounding areas A place to meet the humans behind the profiles 🤝 - Because real community hits different when you can look someone in the eye, not just read their comments Jump in and introduce yourself: Who are you? What are you working on? And what part of Milwaukee or SE Wisconsin do you call home? We’re excited to build one of the strongest IRL SKOOL communities right here in Milwaukee. See you at the next meetup -- in real life. ⭐
