About us

Making new friends as an adult isn’t always easy.

That’s why I started something new called Say Hey, Jax!

It’s a simple idea:
I’m bringing together interesting people in a relaxed space to hear from local voices and meet new friends.

We meet regularly all over the city, and I’d love for you to be there.

✨ Good conversation
✨ Friendly people
✨ No cliques

Show up. Say hey. Find your people.
