☀️ About Nowadays

We're building the future of in-person connection, from an intimate exec offsite to a 1,000-person company kickoff in Cancún.

Think about the best work trip you've ever been on. The dinner where your team finally clicked. The offsite where a coworker became a friend. Those moments don't happen over Zoom, and behind every one of them is someone juggling a hundred details: the venue, the flights, the hotel rooms, who's bringing a +1, who's vegetarian, who needs a ride from the airport.

Nowadays is the first AI-powered platform that plans corporate events end to end, from picking the venue to the last airport pickup, so the person organizing gets to enjoy the event too. We've brought together teams at Fortune 500s like Google, Airbnb, and BlackRock, and we're just getting started.

Our mission is simple: we love bringing people together, and we want to make it easier for teams to create meaningful moments in real life.
