As our community continues to grow across cities, there's something powerful about coming together in person. Last week, we’ve hosted Host & Toast gatherings in Orlando, Atlanta, and Charlotte, and each event reminded us why face-to-face connection still matters. 💜 Each city brought its own flavor. Here is Emily’s take on Atlanta’s Host & Toast:“At our Atlanta Host & Toast, we reconnected with several hosts who first met at our October event and have continued meeting up since then. There’s a monthly women’s meetup (they even brought along a brand new host and customer this time, someone who hasn’t even listed yet); there’s also a guys’ group, and a North Georgia mountains crew that regularly keeps in touch.There's value in the Host & Toast's beyond Hospitable. Our customers are meeting each other, maintaining those relationships and going on to support each other and new hosts. It's really special.” 

We’re diving into all things Copilot. From how it works, to what’s new, and what’s next. Plus a few extra surprises you won’t want to miss. Add it to your calendar, bring your questions, and come hang with the Hospitable crew!
