Est. New York City
The room where it happens — every Third Thursday.
Third Thursday brings together entrepreneurs, creatives, industry leaders, and community builders for monthly in-person gatherings that actually move the needle. No agenda. No formalities. Just real people, real conversations, real connections.
What We Do
Third Thursday is a monthly in-person gathering built on one simple idea: the right room changes everything. We bring together brands, retailers, operators, and industry leaders for an evening of real connection — no panels, no pitch decks, just people.
Every third Thursday of the month, we host a curated in-person event in NYC and Detroit. Open bar, passed appetizers, and the kind of organic introductions that actually turn into something. 6–9pm, 21+, ticketed through Eventbrite.
Sponsor a table and get your brand in front of the most engaged room in the market. Product displays, brand collateral, verbal shoutouts, logo placement, and a direct line to the buyers and operators in the room.
We don't just throw events — we build community. Every Third Thursday is designed to break down barriers, spark meaningful connections, and grow a network that supports each other long after the night is over.
Started in Detroit in 2019. Launched in NYC in 2023. Now expanding nationally. Third Thursday goes deep in every city it enters — building trust, connections, and community from the ground up.
