Social Media Club LA Happy Hour

Social Media Club LA’s monthly happy hour is the local chapter of the international Social Media Club nonprofit. The room is built for marketing, social media, PR, and digital strategists - freelance, agency, and in-house - who want peer conversation without a sales floor. Hosts explicitly ban hard soliciting and insurance-style pitches. Miracle Mile on Wilshire is an accessible mid-city stop, easier than a Palisades soiree for early and mid-career marketers. The international Social Media Club nonprofit is the parent; LA is the local chapter running a monthly happy hour for freelance, agency, and in-house marketers.

Thursday, July 30, 2026, 5:30-8:00 PM at Descanso Restaurant, 5773 Wilshire Boulevard. Social Media Club members attend free with the member code from socialmediaclub.org; non-member tickets are on Eventbrite. Validated parking is listed around $5 after 5:30 PM at 679 S Curson Ave. Event is 21+.

Social, digital, and PR people who can talk about actual work - campaigns, platforms, in-house vs agency tradeoffs - fit the no-hard-sell rule. A cold pitch deck will get you sideways with volunteer hosts. Member code vs Eventbrite ticket is the only pricing split; parking on Curson is the logistics note that saves a Wilshire hunt. Same Thursday as ThinkLA’s sold-out Palisades soiree and ACG’s Bowl night: this is the accessible marketing room. Hard soliciting and insurance-style pitches are banned by the hosts, so arrive ready to talk campaigns and platforms. Volunteer hosts size the room from RSVPs - Eventbrite still matters if you are using the member code. Same Thursday as ThinkLA’s Palisades soiree and ACG’s Bowl night: this is the accessible Miracle Mile marketing room.

RSVP on Eventbrite so the volunteer hosts can size Descanso, even if you are using the member code. Work stories travel better here than a cold pitch; keep the insurance pitch at home.
