We are SO excited to welcome you to our first On Connection dinner event of 2025.

On Connection is an event and experience company that creates connection based experiences for companies, brands, and communities.

Our public dinners are centered around making meaningful connections around the table while working with local chefs, iconic venues, and other small businesses.

On Connection is designed to help you get outside of your comfort zone and discuss thoughtful topics with new friends. Our events are created to form connections and we encourage you to feel comfortable to come alone. However, friends and partners are always welcome.

For this event, we are partnering with Brian Madden to create an immersive dining experience at his studio located in the beautiful Dogpatch neighborhood.

Brian Madden is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer based in SF. His artwork explores a lifelong instinct to celebrate moments and memories through sculpture, mark making, and artifact collection. Brian is known for his irreverent drawing style, and his exploration of material and texture to create sculpture, furniture, and paintings. Bringing a relational approach to his creative practice, he often collaborates with clients, material experts, and fabricators to explore new techniques and bring imaginative concepts to life. He has worked with iconic brands such as Nike, EA Sports, Google, and more.

___

Theme: Moments in Motion.

Most of the human experience is spent in our subconscious - going through the motions. We find ourselves stuck in the day to day. Consuming, not creating. Alive but not living. As life spins on, what if we paused to feel and experience more of the moments amidst the mundane? Join us for an evening of reflection and inspiration as we ground ourselves in the present, share a meal, and connect through conversation.
