Our Mission

Before the Internet™ is here to revive the art of real-life connections.

Through our ‘Phone-Free’ Events, we’re encouraging people to live in the moment. Through our Conversation Starting Apparel, we’re aiming to Bring Back Small Talk.

We want to give people the sense of community and social belonging that was reminiscent of a time Before the Internet. Join us in reconnecting with what’s real.

“Phone-Free” Events

How it works:

  • Phones are discouraged, as attendees place it in a zippable pouch upon entry. It’s a nice little reminder to live in the moment.

  • Disposable cameras are handed out to attendees. It’s an interactive way to get off your phone and still snap those pics.

  • With your phone out of sight, just enjoy the party with no worry. Dance, talk, & truly connect.

  • All our photos are developed and posted through our socials and newsletter. Make sure to sign up here.
