There’s a lot happening in the Inbox Collective world now, and one piece of feedback I got from readers in my end-of-year survey was that you wanted a second email per month to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

And if you ask for it, I’ll listen! Here’s a quick check-in about three things I wanted to make sure you saw:

1.) News about the next three Dine & Deliver dinners.
2.) A few great stories we’ve published on the Inbox Collective website.
3.) A reminder about all the good stuff in the most recent Not a Newsletter.

Dine & Deliver is coming to Boston, LA, and Washington, D.C.

Last month, I told you about Dine & Deliver, presented by LiveIntent. It’s a private dinner series for newsletter operators, co-hosted by Who Sponsors Stuff and Inbox Collective.

We hosted the very first dinner on Tuesday night in New York City, and I took so much away from the conversation. Here’s where we’re coming next:

March 14 — Washington, D.C.
April 4 — Los Angeles, CA
May 11 — Boston, MA

There will be dinner, drinks, and the chance to swap ideas with some of the most plugged-in newsletter operators from across North America.

Dine & Deliver is free to attend, but space is limited! Dinners will be capped at around 20 guests per city to encourage free-flowing conversation.

Want to attend? Submit your application here.

Know a newsletter operator in one of these cities who we should invite? Hit reply and let me know.

And if you don't see your city on the list? Good news: We'll have even more dinners to announce in the summer and fall!

Apply to attend Dine & Deliver

And one more thing: Thank you again to LiveIntent, the presenting sponsor of the series, with additional thanks to BuySellAds, Kickbox, and Mark It Done for their support of these dinners!
