Cocktails + Coworking

Detroit, MI, Detroit, United States
In person

You know that part of Sunday afternoon when you know you want to work on your dreams, map something out, finally start the thing, or just get yourself back into motion, but sitting at home alone is absolutely not inspiring you? We made a room for that. Cocktails + Coworking by PRMSN is a three-part Sunday series bringing together some of the coolest, most interesting, most inspiring people in the city for a few hours of working on what matters to them alongside other people doing the same. The exact location will be revealed soon, but what we can say is it’s freaking chic, inspiring, and absolutely worth spending your Sunday afternoon in. Bring your laptop, the project you keep saying you’re going to work on, the new business idea, the deck, the writing, the plan, the thing you’re building, or simply whatever deserves a few uninterrupted hours of your attention. You can collaborate with someone new, ask for feedback, find your next connection, or put your headphones in and completely do your own thing. We’ll even have simple cards at each seat that signal whether you’re feeling social or fully in the zone, so there is zero pressure to perform, network, or be “on.” The whole point is to spend your Sunday afternoon in a beautiful space with a cocktail in hand, surrounded by people who are creating their lives instead of just talking about them. Your ticket includes: Access to a room full of incredible people A featured cocktail + light bites (in partnership with Fine Line for an NA option!) The kind of energy that makes you want to actually do the thing You’ll also receive an exclusive complimentary trial of the new PRMSN member platform, so the people, ideas, and connections can continue beyond the room. Dates October 11 October 25 November 1 1:00–4:00 PM Detroit — exact location revealed soon Tickets $35 for one gathering $75 for all three Each gathering is intentionally extremely limited. Come work on the dream and meet someone unexpected. Or, sit in the corner wit
