WHERE ABSTINENT CHRISTIANS CONNECT
ATLANTA, GEORGIA | AUGUST 16 -18, 2024
 This isn't just an event, it's an experience. Too often, those who are abstinent feel alone, like they are the only ones who have stayed committed to this lifestyle. Truth is, there are many abstinent Christians, they're just spread out across the world. The Meet Up Experience's goal is to gather everyone in one space, creating the opportunity for new friendships & possible romantic connections.
You don't have to live this abstinence lifestyle alone. There is an entire tribe waiting to meet you at The Meet Up Experience!
The space and opportunity is being created for you... Will you take advantage of it by attending The Meet Up Experience?

DAY 1

FRIDAY | 12p-10p

TRIBE CONNECTIONS 

Day 1 of The Meet Up Experience is about making connections. This will be achieved through interactive sessions that will allow you to play, converse & worship with fellow attendees in an interactive manner. These sessions will have you up moving, laughing, and learning (maybe even crying). Are you an introvert or coming alone? Don't worry! The host will help facilitate interactions during the sessions.

THE ITINERARY 

Registration: You will check in & receive your keepsake wristband + T-shirt
Welcome & Introduction: The host will officially welcome you to The Meet Up Experience!
Interactive Session I: This session is to help break the ice. It's an old school game with an abstinence twist that requires volunteers to rely on teammates & the audience to guess the answer before the time runs out.
Snack Break: Enjoy a complimentary snack and drink from the snack bar while mingling with fellow attendees.
Interactive Session II: This session will give you the opportunity to discuss abstinence topics with fellow attendees in a fun & interactive way. Get ready to raise your paddles & talk your talk!
Food Truck + Break: Take a break and purchase some delicious food from the food truck.
Interactive Session III: This session will give you an opportunity to sing "praise & worship" with fellow attendees.

DAY 2

SATURDAY | 3p-8p

TRIBE SOCIAL 

Day 2 of The Meet Up Experience will give you the opportunity to socialize with the people you connected with on Day 1. It will be more of a free flow, allowing you to choose how you would like to continue connecting with fellow attendees. It will take place at a different venue than Day 1 (the location will be included in your emailed ticket confirmation). The venue's three-floor model will give you the opportunity to head to The Rooftop Terrace to engage in in-depth conversation, hit the dance floor on The Main Floor or have fun in The Cellar by playing cards or engaging in some games! 

THE MAIN FLOOR

 The Main Floor, an open & airy space with original hardwood, exposed brick, & warm natural light is where the live DJ, photo booth, merchandise table, & famous "The Meet Up" sign will be.

THE ROOFTOP

The Rooftop Terrace is where conversations are meant to be had. Spend time outside taking in Atlanta's captivating skyline or head inside to engage in an in-depth conversation with someone of interest. Don't worry, there will be icebreaker cards to help spark the conversation. Oh, and don't forget to get a photo of you on the rooftop at the digital photo station!
