EVENTS & PROGRAMMING

WE do the planning. You just show up.

In-person events are at our core because nothing beats face-to-face interactions. We host 5-8 fun social gatherings and thought-provoking programming per month, all designed to elevate your life and friendships.

At PARALLEL, we facilitate introductions, spark meaningful conversations, and design our gatherings with connection in mind. That means — no more wondering who the host is when you walk into an event, feeling anxious about showing up solo, or trying to connect with random strangers on your own.

All IRL events are hosted in Los Angeles (for now). Expansion into other cities coming soon. Not in Los Angeles? Join our online community — launching Spring 2025.

FIND YOUR FIVE

The FIND YOUR FIVE Dinner Series and Coffee Series brings together 5-6 people to explore new restaurants and coffee shops in various neighborhoods across Los Angeles. These events also feature a “conversation menu” with thought-provoking questions, so it’s sure to spark some meaningful connections. It’s a good way to meet new people in an intimate setting, have some solid conversations, and have a great time! The Find Your Five Zoom Room Series is the virtual version, if you don’t want to drive through LA traffic to connect.

Inspired by Jim Rohn’s idea that “you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with”, these events help you reflect on who’s in your social circle and how they influence your life.

THE ‘MISSED CONNECTION, TABLING KIDS’ COMEDY SHOW

PARALLEL hosts a stand-up comedy show every few months, featuring LA’s top comics, to explore life without "the one", and life without kids. Whether you’re single, coupled, tabling the idea of kids until later, or proudly kid-free, come laugh at life’s unpredictability alongside familiar faces (not random strangers) at our very own privately produced show. Each show includes a social hour so you can catch up with friends or meet new people.

While most events are members-only, this show is always open to friends and guests. Get on our email list to be notified of all upcoming events.

POP-UP EVENTS & PROGRAMMING

On top of our regular event series, PARALLEL hosts monthly pop-up events. Think: happy hours, hikes, beach days, stand-up paddle boarding alongside sailboats, wellness experiences, dog-friendly socials. Looking for someone to join you at the Dodger game, or want to host a book club? Our app makes it easy to have member-led, member-initiated events!

Beyond social experiences, PARALLEL offers invaluable resources including thought-provoking fireside chats, livestreams and expert-led discussions with advisors and influencers on topics that resonate with your mid-life, kid-free lifestyle. We’re committed to providing the conversations, tools, and insights you need to enhance your life and relationships, so you can become the best version of yourself.
