How to Launch and Grow a Thriving AI-Era Business Networking Event in Your City
A Midas Social is a recurring, after-hours networking event you host in your city — relaxed, fun, and built around the most compelling business topic of the decade: how to use AI to grow. Think of it as the warm, sociable cousin of a formal referral group. People gather one evening a month over food and drinks, meet a great guest speaker, make real connections, and leave energized — and you, the host, become the recognized name behind the most interesting business gathering in town.
This course is built around nine focused modules, each a self-contained lesson with a short accompanying video. Work through them in order — each one builds on the last:
Module 1 — What a Midas Social Is — and Why It Wins in the AI Era
Module 2 — The Format That Keeps People Coming Back
Module 3 — Choosing Your Venue & Handling the Food and Drinks
Module 4 — The Membership Model & Your 12 Founding Partners
Module 5 — Landing Guest Speakers Worth Showing Up For
Module 6 — Seven Proven Ways to Fill the Room (Part 1)
Module 7 — Seven Proven Ways to Fill the Room (Part 2)
Module 8 — The Press Release & Partner Promotion Engine
Module 9 — Hosting the Event — Running the Night Like a Pro
