About this event
Start Cohort 7 the right way: in the room, in conversation, and already building momentum before the deeper work begins. Pre Cohort 7 / Welcome Bash Kickoff is a casual, in-person gathering in Las Vegas designed to help people connect early, get oriented, and step into the cohort experience with real familiarity instead of cold introductions. This is not a formal conference and it is not just a loose social hour. It is a well-timed community kickoff where you can meet other attendees face-to-face, start meaningful conversations, and get a feel for the people, energy, and opportunities that will shape the cohort ahead. What Is This? At its core, this event is a welcome gathering for the Cohort 7 community. It brings people together in person before things get fully underway, giving everyone a chance to break the ice, make introductions easier, and build early connections that can carry through the rest of the cohort experience. Because it is framed as a Welcome Bash Kickoff, expect the tone to be social, open, and easy to step into. You do not need to prepare a pitch or arrive with a packed agenda. The point is to show up, meet people, and start forming the relationships that make a cohort feel more useful, more collaborative, and more enjoyable. This kind of event matters because the strongest communities rarely begin when everyone is already busy. They begin in the moments before the work intensifies, when there is space to talk, ask questions, and meet people without pressure. That is exactly what this kickoff is built to create. What to Expect You can expect a relaxed in-person meetup environment with a strong community and networking focus. Conversations will likely move naturally between introductions, shared interests, what brought people to Cohort 7, and what each person hopes to get out of being involved. The flow is designed to be approachable rather than rigid. While the exact shape of the gathering may evolve in the room, attendees should expect a mix of informal mingling and easy conversation starters that help turn a room full of unfamiliar faces into a more connected group. A few things you can expect from the experience: Warm introductions that make it easier to meet people early Casual networking without the stiffness of a formal industry event Community-building conversations around goals, interests, and what is ahead A social atmosphere that gives you room to settle in and connect naturally Early relationship-building with people you may see again throughout Cohort 7 If you are someone who prefers to know at least a few people before a larger program gets going, this event gives you that chance. If you are more outgoing, it is also a strong opportunity to set the tone, make introductions, and help shape the culture of the cohort from day one. Why Attend The biggest reason to come is simple: things feel better when you already know the room. Instead of entering Cohort 7 as a name on a list, you get to arrive having already had conversations, shared context, and started building familiarity with the people around you. There is also real practical value in being there early. Community-driven experiences become much more useful when you know who to reach out to, who shares your interests, and who you naturally click with. This event helps shorten that timeline. By attending, you can: Build rapport early with fellow cohort members and community participants Make networking more natural by meeting people in a low-pressure setting Create momentum before the cohort fully begins Find your people within a broader community setting Walk in with confidence instead of feeling like you are starting cold Even if your main goal is simply to get oriented, this kickoff can make the rest of the experience more comfortable and more productive. The people you meet here may become collaborators, friends, trusted sounding boards, or just the familiar faces that make future events easier to step into.
