The Sip & Gather Collective

### The Sip & Gather Collective

We're a relaxed, in-person social group centered on conversation, community, and getting people together in real life. What began as a simple coffee meetup has grown into a range of thoughtfully hosted social gatherings. You’ll still find us at great coffee shops (local gems, chains, and member favorites), but we also explore restaurants, brunch spots, dessert places, markets, and other local hangouts.

“Sip” can mean coffee, tea, a cocktail — or nothing at all. Ordering food or drinks is always optional. The focus is on gathering, being present, and enjoying good company.

Events take place at different times of day and throughout the week, with a mix of casual meetups and curated gatherings. Some events are free and open to all; others are intentionally hosted, limited in size, and may include a participation fee to support planning and coordination.

If you enjoy good conversations, relaxed social settings, and discovering local spots with new faces, you’ll feel right at home... so, come sip, gather, and connect!

### Member Profiles

Please have a current profile photo that clearly shows your face. This group is focused on in-person connections, and being able to recognize one another makes meetups smoother and more comfortable for everyone.

### RSVP & No-Show Policy

To keep events running smoothly and ensure accurate headcounts, please update your RSVP if your plans change. We understand that things come up, but repeated no-shows affect venues, hosts, and other members.

Two no-shows without RSVP updates may result in removal from the group. This helps keep engagement high and ensures a positive experience for everyone. If you can’t make an event, simply updating your RSVP goes a long way — thank you.
