Richmond Curious: Community Takes the Stage
About this Event
You think you know Richmond? There’s so much more to discover.
Richmond Curious is a Friday networking opportunity based out of Gather Arts District. For this event, we will have light breakfast bites and plenty of hot coffee or tea for you to enjoy.
Our Speakers:
Kristin Hott - PlanRVA
Kristin is the Community Engagement Coordinator at PlanRVA, delighting in all things connection, community, collaboration, arts, and culture. She discovered the regional planning commission in 2024 and joined the team that year! It's never too late to learn something new, and you are always on time when you decide to get involved. Community is the world's special sauce... it's where so many powerful movements begin. She's delighted to have building it be such an integral part of her grown-up job!

Risa Gomez - Social Connectory
Risa Gomez is a Richmond based community builder and the founder of Social Connectory, a free online directory connecting residents to social clubs, volunteer opportunities, and local events to help combat the loneliness epidemic. Driven by the belief that people need more real-world friendships rather than more online followers, she built Social Connectory from a grassroots passion project into an active platform featuring over 500 listings across the Richmond area.

====================================
Our goals for the Richmond Curious series:
- Promote the downtown area and businesses like yours that flourish in a thriving city.
- Bring people in the city together in a curated, engaging and structured networking experience. Let’s get in a room and create connections!
- Gather is a community hub - we want to invite outside businesses into our space and create intentional connections between our member business owners and our amazing downtown community.
If this sounds like a fit, we invite you to join us at the next Richmond Curious! Doors will open at 8:20 am and we'll begin promptly at 8:35 am. If you join us, feel free to stick around for a free day of coworking.
