What we’re about
Whether you're new to Connecticut or have always been here, you've heard there's nothing to do in the state, but there's actually a lot of hidden gems. This is an activities-based social group for people in their 20's, 30's, and 40's. We'll be doing a variety of activities, so there should be something that everyone can enjoy!
Event No-Show Policy:
If you're RSVP'd to an event and are unable to attend for any reason, please change your RSVP, post in the event, or send the event host a message. Failure to notify the event host prior to the event start time will be noted, which several consecutive no-shows may result in your removal from the group. In addition, if an event has an attendance cap, with people on the waiting list, at least a 24-hour notice is required. Any notice less than 24-hours will be considered a no-show. However, if a reservation was made, a no-show or less than a 4-hour notice may cause your immediate removal from the group.

If you purchase your Saturday Only Pass by the end of 4/30/2025, using promo code: CCWXXII, and opt in to have your pass mailed to you ($15.99 charge), total cost is: $77.93
- If you purchase your pass on/after 5/1/2025, you will not have the option to have your pass mailed to you. While you will save $15.99, this will now require you to pick up your physical pass in person on 7/19/25 (when I went to last year's ConnectiCon, the pick-up line was very long).
- Regarding promo code CCWXXII, I am unclear how long this promo code will be valid for (Thank you @ Adam for sharing this code)
Time/Format of Meetup Event:
- Since I have never organized an event like this before, I'll coordinate with everyone who has validated that they have purchased a Pass, especially as it gets closer to July 19th, regarding what time we will meet up, where to meet, etc.
Feel free to post here or message me directly with any comments/questions.
