What we’re about
Gist Professional Club is a guided experience designed to help professionals connect — intentionally, meaningfully, and without the noise.
Each event has a curated theme. Through a series of one-on-one 8-minute rounds, you meet every person in the room. No bios, no pitches, no algorithms — just structured, human conversations that cut through the surface and spark real potential for collaboration.
Whether you're here to find a cofounder, exchange insight, or simply meet thoughtful people navigating similar paths, Gist creates the context for relationships that go beyond LinkedIn swaps or transactional intros.
We’re not a networking tool — we’re restoring what it means to truly connect, one meaningful conversation at a time, and inviting you to experience it for yourself.

The lines between design and engineering are blurrier than ever. AI can now turn mockups into code and prototypes into polished flows—but with that power comes new complexity. It’s no longer just about handing off a Figma file; success now depends on deep, continuous collaboration.
This event is for the innovators ready to master this new landscape. We're creating a space for the critical conversations between designers and engineers that lead to breakthrough products.🔗 RSVP via the Gist link to speed up check-in at the event.
Our Goal For You:
We want you to leave with the fresh perspectives and strategic connections you need to thrive. Find a solution to a problem you've been stuck on, gain a deeper understanding of your counterparts, or even find a co-founder for a new venture.
After the structured rounds, the open mingle transforms into a collaboration lab. This is your chance to group up with people you clicked with, sketch out an idea, and find the partners you need to build a side project, a prototype, or the next big thing.📍 Location: 620 Jones
