Networking: Your 2026 strategy called. It’s lonely.

Hey Everyone!

We have all survived the year-end reporting marathon and the "what is the 2026 plan?" messages from leadership. But let’s be real—staring at a blank strategy deck while trying to remember which 2025 trends actually moved the needle is a lot to handle alone.

Instead of spiraling in your own data, come talk it out. The Arboretum Network is officially open for a new round of pairings to help you turn last year's lessons into this year's growth. Whether you want a quick 1:1 vibe check or a small group brainstorm to pressure-test your big bets, we have a spot for you.

How it works this round:

  • Opt in now until January 26th to secure your spot for Peer Connect, Peer Group, or Sprout User Connect.
  • Check your inbox on January 29th to meet your new match.

    Tag me in February. I just don’t have the time to do any side quests at the moment, but this sounds like a fun idea.
