A room for ideas
in good company.

Aperitifs and AI brings together fashion brand owners, designers, manufacturers, and the distributors who get their work to market.

Come for an easygoing evening of conversation about how taste, place, and emerging technology meet in the work we do.

Being a solopreneur doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.

If you had a team of ten, what would you build?

Ideas first.
Introductions follow.

Mark will share practical ways AI can help you scale your work, strengthen what you offer, and cut through the noise.

Expect thoughtful company, practical curiosity, and space to make connections between fashion brands and the manufacturers, distributors, and partners who help them grow.

Attendance is free. The gathering is intentionally small, with about 30 invited guests.
