Social Hour at Play Lounge & Cafe

Why settle for the same old networking shuffle when it could be something much more exciting—like a fresh way to connect, almost like a new kind of... game?

That’s why we’re thrilled to team up with Play Lounge & Cafe. Their story hits home for us: when Matt Irby, the owner, moved to Palm Springs, he found connection by hosting weekly game nights with new friends. What started as a laid-back hangout turned into something bigger—a spark of energy and a thriving community in the middle of a chaotic work life.

At EMERGE Palm Springs, we've always had a similar vision: creating spaces for the new and next wave of professionals to connect in real, meaningful ways. Because let’s face it—building authentic relationships is what makes us thrive in the places we live, work, and play.

So, mark your calendars: January 13th, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Join us for our January Social Hour at Play Lounge & Cafe! Your ticket gets you exclusive after-hours access, and for those who arrive first once we kick things off, your drink’s on us—while they last.

What makes Social Hour special? Honestly, it’s you. Whether you’re a creative dynamo, a bold entrepreneur, or someone making major career moves, this is where you’ll find your people. Come ready to spark ideas, find new collaborators, and soak up the energy of a place designed for those who dare.... to play.

Please note: 100% of ticket sales, plus a portion of Play Cafe & Lounge's event sales will be donated to fire relief efforts in L.A.
