Mavely Meetups: Building Community in Kansas City

Thank you, Kansas City, for being such an amazing host city for our latest Mavely Meetup! On September 4, we hosted a vibrant evening of connection, creativity, and collaboration for Kansas City-area creators at Scratch Gourmet Kitchen. With its local charm and welcoming atmosphere, Scratch set the perfect backdrop for a night full of inspiration and meaningful creator moments. Here are some of the highlights of our Kansas City creator meetup, along with a few of our favorite photos of the event.

Influencer Speed Dating: Connecting Creators, One Quick Chat at a Time

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our past meetups, it’s that creators love the chance to meet face-to-face and share their journeys. That’s why we brought back our fan-favorite activity: Influencer Speed Dating, which was such a big hit at our Chicago creator meetup. This fun and fast-paced session gave creators the opportunity to introduce themselves, exchange ideas, and build community with their fellow local influencers—all in record time!

Creators buzzed from table to table, learning about each other’s niches, content styles, and more, along with some fun “get to know you” questions to help start creative conversations. The connections formed during these speed dating rounds were nothing short of magic, as our community bonded over shared passions, experiences, and future opportunities. By the end of the night, everyone left with a newfound appreciation for their fellow creators and maybe even a few fresh ideas for collaboration.

Goodie Bags That Bring the Wow Factor

Of course, we couldn’t let our Kansas City creators leave empty-handed! Each attendee received an exclusive Mavely swag bag filled with goodies featuring our brand-new logo that were designed to make their content creation journey even more exciting, like a Mavely-branded tripod—perfect for capturing flawless videos and photos. Our swag bags were also packed full of wellness gifts from our generous brand partners at Vimergy. Known for their high-quality supplements, Vimergy’s products will help keep our creators feeling their best as they continue to inspire and share their content.

And the surprises didn’t stop there! Leonisa, the renowned lingerie and sleepwear brand, also partnered with us to gift attendees an exclusive discount code. Leonisa’s products are all about feeling confident and comfortable, and we know our creators will love adding a little extra comfort to their wardrobes as they continue creating authentic, empowering content.

Scratch Gourmet Kitchen: The Perfect Venue for a Memorable Night

We’re always on the lookout for unique venues that offer the perfect blend of comfort and creativity, and Scratch Gourmet Kitchen was exactly that. Nestled in the heart of Kansas City, this locally-loved eatery set the stage for an unforgettable evening. From the mouthwatering bites to the warm, welcoming staff, Scratch created an environment where creators could relax, connect, and let their creativity shine.

The food, featuring Scratch’s signature local flavors, was a hit with our creators, who enjoyed everything from gourmet bites to locally inspired treats that fueled our conversations throughout the evening. We believe in the power of community, and Scratch perfectly complemented the close-knit vibe we strive to create at every Mavely event.

Building a Community of Everyday Creators

At Mavely, we’re more than just a platform—we’re a community. And this Kansas City creator meetup once again reminded us of the power of real-life connections in fostering that community. Our Everyday Influencers are passionate about sharing what they love and inspiring their audiences, and we’re here to amplify those voices. Whether it was swapping brand recommendations, sharing tips for growing their audiences, or simply getting to know each other, the sense of camaraderie in Kansas City was undeniable.

Our Kansas City creators left with new ideas, friendships, and collaborations ready to take flight. We were thrilled to bring our mission of building a vibrant, in-person community of creators to one more city and help spark authentic connection and collaboration between influencers in a fun, relaxed setting.

So, What’s Next?

Kansas City was an absolute blast, and we can’t thank our attendees enough for a memorable, fun evening. Later this month, we’ll be meeting up with our community of creators in the Denver area, so stay tuned for details about our next event in the Mile High City.
