Host a gathering

Assemble a great table, without doing it all yourself

Apply to host

The right people at the table.

SOMA is built around bringing the right people together. Hosts care first and foremost about who’s attending, and everything else is in service of that. The guest list is shaped intentionally, so the table feels worth showing up for.

We do most the work.

Hosting usually means managing invites, chasing responses, and worrying whether the group will work. SOMA shares that responsibility. The structure supports the evening, so the outcome doesn’t rest entirely on you.

Why host with Soma

Invite guests from our community

We've curated a community built around authentic connection and substance.

Guest recommendations

We suggest active members whose goals, interests, and social profile fit your event.

Time-limited invites

Send invites that expire. If someone doesn't accept in time, the next person on your list is invited.

Guestlist automation

For maximum convenience, allow us auto-invite your top recommended guests.

Reservations handled

For dinners, SOMA can recommend a restaurant and handle the reservation, or you can choose your own.

Optional Instagram promotion

Optionally, we can run ads for your event — it's still invite-only, but people may request to join.

How hosting works

Hosting on SOMA can be hands-on or light-touch. Invite everyone yourself, invite a few and let the table take shape, or let SOMA help assemble the group. You decide how much control you want, and how much support you use.
