About this event
If you work with Ashby and want better ways to learn from people doing the job in real teams, this Seattle user group is built for you. The Q2 Seattle Ashby Customer Experts meetup is a practical, in-person gathering for customers who want to swap ideas, compare notes, and leave with useful approaches they can put to work right away. This is not a generic networking event or a one-way presentation. It is a focused community meetup for Ashby users and customer experts who want real conversation with peers, grounded discussion about workflows and adoption, and a stronger local network of people solving similar problems. What Is This? The Seattle Ashby Customer Experts User Group - Q2 is an in-person community meetup for people in the Seattle area who use Ashby, support Ashby users, or work closely with recruiting operations, talent teams, and hiring processes. The goal is simple: create a space where experienced practitioners and engaged customers can learn from each other in a setting that feels useful, direct, and easy to participate in. Because this is a user group, the value comes from the room. Attendees bring questions, lessons learned, practical examples, and the kind of nuance that rarely shows up in formal documentation. If you have ever wanted to ask how another team approaches a process, handles a change, or gets more from the platform, this is the right environment for that conversation. Expect a format that balances structure with interaction. There may be discussion prompts, informal knowledge-sharing, and time to connect with other attendees, but the core purpose stays the same: helping customers learn from customers. As a Q2 gathering, this meetup is also a useful moment to step back and compare how the year is going so far. It is a chance to hear what others are focusing on now, what challenges are coming up in current workflows, and where teams are seeing progress. What to Expect You can expect a welcoming, in-person meetup designed for discussion rather than passive listening. The flow will likely center on introductions, peer conversation, and practical exchanges about how attendees are using Ashby in their day-to-day work. Topics may naturally include areas such as: Day-to-day Ashby workflows and how teams structure them Process improvements that save time or reduce manual work Adoption, enablement, and how to help teammates use the platform effectively Reporting, coordination, and operational habits that support better hiring execution Questions attendees want to bring to a room of experienced peers A user group setting usually works best when people can both share and ask. You do not need to arrive with a polished presentation or a big announcement. It is enough to come ready to talk honestly about what is working, what is still messy, and what you would like to improve. There will also be time for more casual connection. Some of the most useful takeaways from events like this come from side conversations before, during, or after the main discussion, when you realize someone else has already solved a problem your team is still working through. Why Attend The biggest reason to attend is speed. Learning directly from peers can help you get to better answers faster than trying to figure everything out on your own. Instead of working in isolation, you get access to a room full of people with relevant experience, different team contexts, and practical perspectives. This meetup is also valuable because it is local. Being in the same city makes it easier to build relationships that last beyond one afternoon. If you meet someone whose work overlaps with yours, that connection can continue after the event as a trusted resource for future questions and idea-sharing. You should also expect sharper thinking about your own approach. Hearing how other teams handle similar challenges often helps you spot gaps, validate what you are already doing well, or rethink a process that has become more complicated than it needs to be. Attendees may leave with benefits such as: New ideas to test in their own Ashby setup or workflow Better language for explaining processes internally A clearer sense of how peers are approaching similar operational questions Stronger local connections with other Ashby users and customer experts More confidence about what to improve next Practical Details This event takes place in person in Seattle, USA on Wednesday, May 20 at 3:00 PM PDT. If you have been looking for a Seattle-based opportunity to connect with other Ashby customers face to face, this is a straightforward, accessible way to do it. Because the meetup is in person, it is worth planning to arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in, say hello, and make the most of the conversation from the start. These gatherings tend to be most valuable when attendees have enough time to ease into the room and connect beyond the formal discussion. The event is tagged across community, networking, meetup, social, and broader interest categories, which is a good reflection of what it offers: useful peer learning in a relaxed but purposeful setting. You can expect an atmosphere that supports both thoughtful discussion and easy conversation. If you are an Ashby customer expert in Seattle or nearby, this Q2 user group is a smart use of an afternoon. Come ready to trade notes, ask better questions, and meet other people who care about making their systems, processes, and teams work better.
