A community that shows up in person
Freeman Maple is a communications company that builds communities around regular events — dinners, talks and working sessions, with everyone in the room, not on a call.
Twelve seats, one question
A long table and three hours to work through it.
Someone who did the thing
Bring what you are stuck on
Every city, every month
Each chapter keeps its own calendar. Members propose the evening; the chapter finds the room, sets the table and sends the invitations.
- Week oneDinner — a long table around one question
- Week twoTalk — forty minutes, then an hour of questions
- Week threeWorking session — a Saturday morning on your problem
- Week fourThe digest — what is open next month, city by city
What a month with Freeman Maple looks like
Twelve seats and one question
A member writes the question on a card. The table works through it until the plates are cleared.
No slides required
One speaker, forty minutes, then the room argues. Guests are welcome at every talk.
Other people's attention
Saturday mornings at a long table. Bring the thing you are stuck on and leave with a next step.
Your first evening, in three steps
1
Tell us your city
We'll introduce you to the nearest chapter and its hosts.
2
Pick an evening
Every chapter keeps seats for people who have never been.
3
Request a seat
Arrive on time, stay for the whole thing, talk to someone you did not come with.
No chapter in your city yet
Start one. We help hosts find a room, set a calendar and bring in the first twelve people.
Come to your first evening
A first visit is open to anyone. Bring someone who would like it.
