Talking With Strangers brings candid conversations to unexpected places, amplifying voices, stories, and perspectives that remind us of our shared humanity. Think: part-panel, part social experiment: hear bold stories from local creators, dreamers, and doers, and swap stories with fellow strangers, jumping into groups that skip small talk and get right to the good stuff. We’re creating a space to spark connection and remind us we’re all figuring it out together. Come curious, leave with new friends (and maybe a story or two you’ll be telling for weeks).
