Passionate About Community?

Join us for a casual meal with local community builders for genuine, peer-to-peer conversations.

Whether you're running a cohort-based program, managing a membership, or building a Slack community, join us to meet someone new in this profession- and spark real connections over a great conversation.

How the evening flows:

• Welcome and arrival at the food truck park

• Sit down for the meal (order and pay your own way)

• Check-in and introductions with your hosts

• Casual conversations with fellow community builders
  
  

Look for us with the CMX Connect San Francisco table toppers near the covered seated on the west side of Spark Social. We'll have several tables!

This gathering is presented in partnership between CMX Connect San Francisco, a group for community builders that's launching its quarterly programming for community builders in San Francisco in September and The Community Collective- a cohort based program for learning community strategy. It's hosted by Community Collective Ambassador Sasmini Bandara, alongside CMX Connect SF co-directors Tany Rios Castro, Jessica Falkenthal (Community Collective alumni), and Joshua Zerkel.
