Hi guys! We’re putting together a little community event in Beaumont next week and would genuinely love to get a few more local people in the room.

On **Thursday, August 20**, [What's Up SETX](https://www.facebook.com/groups/480717670014335/user/61586858991007/?__cft__[0]=AZZExN79UKOk4vbeqd72f6akXaDvBmpdDy4gYeF-Ee5GAHky9eI7yiGKJFsWDoSF3511NKKZqoclxCRM6gvN0bMcSWBoIDQkKhPj4xXpRoGfInqNgDNdPwgLIinYTq0pcfL2lBXfCYdrukVHWgO7b3rRaWCZwdwi1SkPXD-U8gbu3g&__tn__=-]K-R) and [The Forge - Fund & Coworking](https://www.facebook.com/groups/480717670014335/user/61573985177638/?__cft__[0]=AZZExN79UKOk4vbeqd72f6akXaDvBmpdDy4gYeF-Ee5GAHky9eI7yiGKJFsWDoSF3511NKKZqoclxCRM6gvN0bMcSWBoIDQkKhPj4xXpRoGfInqNgDNdPwgLIinYTq0pcfL2lBXfCYdrukVHWgO7b3rRaWCZwdwi1SkPXD-U8gbu3g&__tn__=-]K-R) are hosting ***Forge What’s Next*** at The Forge downtown.

It’s basically just a night for people around SETX who are building something, thinking about starting something, working on a side hustle, growing a business, or even just wanting to meet more people doing interesting things around here.

Nothing super formal or awkward. You don’t need a pitch, business cards, or even a fully formed idea. 

We're hoping y'alll would come hang out, meet some people, talk about what you’re working on (or want to work on), and hopefully make a connection or two.

We know there are so many people already doing really cool things around Southeast Texas, and part of why we wanted to do this was just to help get more of those people in the same room.

**WHERE:** The Forge at 268 Pearl Street, Beaumont

**WHEN:** Thursday, August 20 at 6 to 8 pm

We’re still trying to get the word out, so if this sounds like your kind of thing, we’d really love to have you. And if you know someone who’s always talking about starting a business, working on an idea, or looking to meet more people locally, feel free to send this their way too.

Hope to see some of y’all there!  If you have any questions, let me know :)
