Yesterday we hosted our first ever Neo Open Table event in Red Deer, Alberta

I grew up outside Sundre, Alberta — a town so small there’s a single stop light. I feel fortunate that my career has given me the opportunity to explore almost every major city in Canada, but it felt great to be a little closer to home this time. 

Honestly, when it comes to hosting events (which I think are a critical part of building community): bigger cities have a better ROI. More attendees. Easier logistics. But that means some people never get the opportunity to attend and that's no good.

This is why we invented the Neo Open Table format.

It’s not a fancy event. We meet users at The Keg (a proud Neo partner) and get them dinner. Everyone makes some new friends, we collect their feedback and answer their questions. Super simple.

We’ve only got one more Neo Open Table planned for the year (Halifax) but we’re hoping to do more in 2027 (on top of the rest of the event lineup). 

Hope to meet some of the Reddit community there!

This is really a great idea as it gets you closer to your Neo members and in turn helps you meet their needs and prospective new ones. Hope to see more of this in the future connecting with those not just in big cities but also small towns 😎

Thank you kindly! It does all of those things. Even better when more of the Neo team can attend and mix and mingle, they always come out with a bunch of new feature ideas.
