SUMMARY:Social Connection Summit
DESCRIPTION:We prioritize our physical health by going to the gym\, our mental health by meditating or seeing a therapist\, but what about our social health? \nSocial wellness is the third pillar in our wellness triangle\, often meaningfully influencing the others\, yet it remains largely invisible. Loneliness is the largest health crisis of our time—as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day and costing our economy $460B annually. Despite the severity\, no one has identified a real solution. \nWe’re changing that by pioneering the social spaces industry and giving us all a reason to approach social connection with the same intentionality we bring to the gym. Ready to get back together IRL? Join us as we build the social wellness movement together at Fabrik\, a network of social spaces designed specifically for community\, connection\, and finding a sense of belonging. \nAgenda: \n– 5:00 PM – Early Arrival Perks! Experience Fabrik’s social spaces\, connect with other attendees\, and enjoy a special surprise \n– 5:30 PM – 6:15 PM: Breakout Group Meet & Mingle \n– 6:15 PM – 6:30 PM: Fireside Chat \n– 6:30 PM – 7:00 PM: More Mingling with Activities \n– 7:00 PM – 7:45 PM: Panel Discussion \n– 7:45 PM – 8:30 PM: Connection + Reflection with fellow attendees \nPanel Discussion: Building Social Connection in Our Neighborhoods \n– In an era of increasing isolation\, the antidote might be right outside your door. This panel explores how local community builders are combating loneliness and creating vibrant social connections at the neighborhood level. \n– Our panelists will reveal the frameworks\, tactics\, and mindset shifts that turn neighbors into friends and streets into communities. Learn how to identify local assets\, spark meaningful conversations\, and create the kind of neighborhood where everyone knows they belong. Panel Discussion \n– Our diverse panel will dive into the fascinating science of connection\, sharing insights on how quality relationships impact everything from our daily resilience to our long-term wellbeing. \nWe’ll explore different types of social needs – from emotional support to shared purpose – and discuss practical frameworks for assessing and improving your social wellness. \nStay tuned for additional panelist details!
