Welcome to the 1-year anniversary of our Thrive Dinner Salon series! Last November, we gathered a small group of friends together for a cross-pollination dinner where we could escape the soul-death of traditional 'networking' and focus on talking about our passions and projects.
Now, one year later, over 1,500 different people have come together for our monthly salons. Attendees have found new friends, cofounders, mentors, travel buds, and even romantic partners.Â
Â
This time around, let's reflect on a year of incredible friendships. As always, this dinner salon is open-invite, free to attend, and goes until whenever you're satisfied. To facilitate good conversation, we like to hand out 'questions to spark authenticity' on sticky notes.

ABOUT THRIVE SALON
A Thrive Dinner is an open invitation to the creatives, changemakers, technologists, nomads, and entrepreneurs you think we should meet.
We'll have dinner, talk passions and projects, and meet those who can help.
Â
The force behind this event is passion, not business.
We're here to make friends, not contacts.
We believe everyone can teach us something.
We are gathering to help one another do the most possible
good with our projects, adventures, and connections.
Â
This is not a tech, social venture, entrepreneur, or networking meetup. It's an informal get-together of people seeking meaningful conversation and purpose-filled action in their lives. We hope to help you find it here.
