About this Event

What happens when your Tuesday after work becomes a space for authentic connection?

Join Portsmouth's experiment in putting humans back in human connection. After a day of screen fatigue and digital "connections," discover what face-to-face conversation feels like when strangers become real people, not profile pictures. WALK-INS WELCOME!


What You'll Experience

THE GATHERING:

  • Complete device-free environment for 3 hours
  • Conversation prompt cards to use during the event and take home
  • Optional additional connection experiences
  • Free participation - just show up ready to connect

Why Reedmor?

Reedmor Books & Brews believes great conversations happen where books and beverages meet. As both bookstore and bar, they create spaces where people gather to slow down, think, and connect. With craft coffee, tea, beer, and wine, Reedmor is the perfect Third Space for authentic community building.


What You'll Leave With
  • New connections with fellow community members
  • Conversation skills that work everywhere - from family dinners to workplace interactions
  • Tuesday evening energy that refreshes your week instead of depleting it
  • Take-home conversation prompts to spark authentic connections anywhere

The Experience

This isn't networking, therapy, or forced team-building. It's an experiment in what happens when we put our devices away and remember what genuine human connection feels like. Whether you're new to the area, looking to meet like-minded people, or simply curious about authentic conversation, this experience is designed for anyone ready to trade screen time for real time.

Device Management: Yondr pouches (professional phone security pouches).

Ready to transform your Tuesday evening with real human connection? Join us for Portsmouth's most intriguing social experiment. For more info, check out !
