Hey friends!
You might have heard us talk about bringing the magic of this community into the real world, and today we’re officially kicking off the journey. Before we open up host applications to everyone, we’re running a small pilot to fine-tune the experience.
We have our first three Local Guides stepping up to host casual hangouts this month, and we’d love for you to join them!
📍 The Lineup:
If you’re in one of these cities, grab your spot now (the first round is on Sprout!):
- Ferndale, MI: 3/19 at 9am — Hosted by
@melissa.macgregor at Drifter Coffee. Register Here - Atlanta, GA: 3/20 at 6pm — Hosted by
@Anna Laura McGranahan at Distillery of Modern Art. Register Here
🌍 Don’t see your city yet?
Don’t worry—this is just the beginning. We’ll be opening up the full Arboretum IRL program very soon, where you can apply to host your own local shop talk session, pick your favorite spot, and have Sprout Social pick up the tab.
The goal is simple: No slides, no pitches—just real conversations with people who get the job.
Want to be the first to know when hosting opens? Drop a comment below with your city! Let’s get off the screen and get connected.
