New RE/Business group D.C. Metro Area

[Account Closed]

I am looking into starting a new RE/Business group around the D.C. Metro area. I'm doing some research to see if there is any type of demand for this? I have been to a lot of groups and networking events where people just pitch their ideas/business/deals/etc and they are always such a turn-off. This space would be to just meet high-quality people and have a good time learning new things and share your ideas rather than trying to make a quick buck off of someone else. My goal is to create a comfortable environment were your true self-comes out... not the person that feels they have to impress everyone.

I have some general ideas about its direction:

- Purely Networking and sharing ideas, not a space to pitch at people like some other events

- Relaxed environment

- Free meetings

- Some type of media integration

- The goal is to connect good, high-quality people

- Meet once a month for several hours

- The group would not act as a business as some other RE groups or meetups (no memberships, paid classes, etc)

If this is something you would be interested in and feel that there is a need for this please let me know and give me feedback!

Also, this is just an idea so feel free to criticize it as much as you can! Thank you!
