The reach of a big event.
The feel of a small one.
Outpost helps you run small-group dinners across all your markets — at one time.
Micro events are emerging as a strategic tool for delivering more intentional, outcome-driven experiences.Skift Meetings · Research Reports
Small-group dinners work. Getting them to happen reliably, at scale, is the hard part.
Meaningful, in-person engagement at the quality and frequency your people want is expensive and time-intensive — so teams lean on a few big, general-format events. But costs are rising, expectations are shifting, and a “yes” is harder to earn than ever.
Outpost is the microevent solution. We match your people to small-group dinners based on where they are and who they are, at a local restaurant with a conversation-based game.
You pick your markets.
Choose the cities where your attendees are — anywhere, any size.
Engagements in more places, for more people, more often.
01
New marketsCities you’ve never served
Because a group only needs a handful of people, markets that could never justify a full event become reachable.
02
New peopleUnique engagements, new turnout
The format is personal, and draws attendees looking for an alternative to the events they’ve historically attended.
03
New frequencyFrom once a year to once a quarter
When an event takes hours to stand up instead of months, your active markets can go from one gathering a year to one a quarter.
Outpost reaches the gaps a traditional event can’t — at a consistent cost per engagement.
Great events without the staff hours.

An Outpost forms around people who already said yes.
People are increasingly selective with their “yes.”
They don’t show up just because an event exists. They show up when it’s:
- ConvenientChosen with them, not for them.
People tell us which areas work. We handle the restaurant reservation and reveal the location the day before — close to where they said they’d want to be. Never an arbitrary spot, always chosen around their preference — so saying yes is a no-brainer, not a commute.
- PersonalGrouped on purpose, not by chance.
Every Outpost is four to six people, grouped deliberately and capped there. Small enough that everyone participates — and that a no-show would be missed. Right-sized to favor quality of conversation over quantity of interaction — so the attendee knows their time will be well spent.
- InteractiveGiven something to do, not left to small talk.
Rounds of questions unlock on everyone’s phone at the table — a shared activity that gets people past the surface and into something more interesting, connecting them to each other and back to your organization. Every table feels purposeful — and no one has to worry about carrying the room or what to say.
Chosen around you.
Tell us the areas best for you. We’ll choose the spot and let you know exactly where at noon the day before.

A table, not a crowd.
Your Outpost is a group of four to six, a size designed for personal connections and meaningful participation.
The Game gets everyone talking.
At your table, The Game will guide you through intentional prompts so everyone gets a turn, and no one has to carry the conversation.
