**Date & Time:** Saturday, August 2nd at 7-8pm (see more options below)
**Where: On ZOOM**

**Introverts United** is a welcoming space where virtual connections turn into real-life friendships that build community. We start by meeting online to get to know each other—then connect in person at exciting events right here in Fort Collins, Colorado.

## **🎉 Launching This Week!**

We’re kicking things off with a week of online meetups—culminating in a live, in-person gathering to welcome the acclaimed Afro-Cuban Jazz duo Okan at Bohemian Nights, Thursday, August 7th.

## **🎤 Artists Spotlight: Meet Okan on Zoom!**

**Sunday, August 3rd at 7pm *(SEE SEPARATE LIVE EVENT on MeetUp.com)***
Join us for our very first “Artists Spotlight” Zoom! Elizabeth Rodriguez and/or Magdelys Savigne—the powerhouse duo behind Okan—will be sharing their journey, answering your questions, and offering behind-the-scenes insight into their music. Don’t miss this unique chance to connect directly with the artists!

## **🎤 Let’s Get Acquainted as We Prepare to Meet the Artists**

Check out our other MEETUP events *earlier* *this week* (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) so we can prepare to meet the artists on Sunday night.

Each session will highlight different music, thought-provoking questions, and fresh faces. **The more sessions you attend, the richer our experience will be**—both at the *Artists Spotlight* and the live show. Join us online to:

* Enjoy Okan’s vibrant music and lyrics
* Experience guided group conversations designed for the introvert: turn taking; right to pass; comfort in silence; no one dominates; every voice is heard.
* Connect through 1:1 breakout rooms for deeper, individual exchanges.

**Then we'll attend the *Artists Spotlight* on Sunday (Aug 3rd) & the live concert the following Thursday (Aug 7th).** We'll already know the band, their music, and each other, for a richer, more engaging experience.

## **Come On Your Own—or Invite Someone New**

Feel free to join any or all pre-concert Zoom workshops on your own; this event was created with you in mind.

Alternatively, you might invite someone—a stranger you meet at a coffee shop, an introverted acquaintance you’d like to get to know better, or even a family member or friend with whom you’d like to share the experience.
