Our 2025 weekend was a huge success!
Please check back in early 2026 for news
​on next year's Get-Together.

​​featuring a full weekend of:

 3 Classic Venues in North Center (within minutes walking distance)

Only $197 for the entire weekend!
​(All inclusive, with meals. No upsells!)

In 2023, we held the inaugural Get-Together, an attempt to break the mold for conferences/retreats by creating a radically affordable and inclusive event with a focus on connection, community, and fun. We wanted zero pretension or preciousness, and all of the good times. The weekend was an incredible success on every level - new friendships were formed, stories were shared, and treasured memories were created. We were so blown away by the atmosphere our attendees created, we had no choice but to bring this back for 2024. Somehow, it got even better. We're thrilled to be back again in 2025.
