☀️ About Nowadays

We’re building the future of in-person connection—from intimate exec offsites to conference-scale company retreats.

Nowadays is the first AI-powered platform for planning corporate events. Our software handles everything from venue sourcing to vendor negotiations, making it dramatically faster and easier for teams to meet IRL.

We’ve planned events around the world for companies like Google, Amazon, and Quantstamp—and we’re just getting started.

Our mission is simple: make it easier for teams to create meaningful moments together.

• Actually enjoy working and hanging out together

Some of our favorite team moments so far:

• Flying trapeze
