“I have ‘virtually’ gathered around the meet cart a few times and I cannot stop talking about the experience. Emily has the gift of creating a safe space that fosters people to listen and share courageously. It’s been so refreshing to have meaningful, vulnerable, honest, and funny conversations with strangers. I’ve left feeling heard, nourished, inspired, and connected with a few really sweet humans in the process.”

“Emily's interactive facilitation at The Meet Cart helped our graduate business school community to open up and connect as we work to adapt to virtual learning and networking. The way she facilitated encouraged us to focus on things that we love and appreciate—- sharing those with each other allowed us to start our semester off in such a meaningful way. Emily helped us to set a positive tone during a time where it is critical for us to work together to build intentional connections, and for that we are incredibly grateful.”

— LIZ, GABELLI SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AT FORDHAM UNIVERSITY

“Emily did an outstanding job creating a sense of safety & belonging during her session with EforAll. She brought an infectious energy to our time together with our entrepreneurs that left everyone buzzing with positivity and asking for more time with Emily. If you're looking for someone to facilitate an incredible session that enhances connection and leaves everyone with a smile on their face: hire Emily + The Meet Cart.”

— Harris, EforAll LONGMONT

“One of the hardest goals to meet during a virtual convention is attendee connection. The Meet Cart Happy Hour we offered was a wonderful solution to the problem. Our attendees met new people,  laughed, and made connections.  It was easy to participate and a great success!  We would definitely do it again.”

— AUBREY,  NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR HISTOTECHNOLOGY ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM/CONVENTION

“After a year of online learning, many kids have 'zoom fatigue.' However, Emily effortlessly kept our group of kids engaged and smiling online for an entire hour! She designed a custom kickoff event for our new virtual kids' club by weaving in our company's growth mindset focus with a whole lot of fun. Emily used her creativity and kindness to help the kids discover unexpected connections. The kids came to the meeting as strangers and left feeling as if they were truly part of something special.”

“The Meet Cart is such a creative, intentional, and engaging space for community and connection. TEDxMileHigh was lucky to find Emily and The Meet Cart to create experiences not only for large in-person events, but also for smaller virtual gatherings. she is a joy to collaborate with— always creatively considering our audience, our needs, and brings fresh, innovative ideas to the table. Know The Meet Cart is an adaptable concept for any occasion!”

— MORGAN, TEDxMILEHIGH

“I attended the Creative Mornings global field trip in June and am so appreciative of Emily’s time and talents. The Meet cart offered me the opportunity to meet a lot of strangers, to make connections (even if just for minutes), and the chance to share smiles, vulnerability, and kindness. Emily is a connector. A joiner. A bridge-builder. She offered us all a safe place to unplug from the daily grind. She made the world feel more human and smaller.”

“Emily threw my sister’s 38th birthday day party at The Meet Cart and I am still in awe of how wonderful it went!

Inclusive: ✔️ this Brown and Black family, with my little 13 and 7 year old nephews and my Grandma who doesn’t know how to write, felt 100% included.

Fun & meaningful: ✔️ Emily created a space that brought us such a sweet and fun new memory and this time with my grandma, who had not celebrated my sister’s birthday with her since my sis was 5!

Bilingual: ✔️ I translated for my parents and Grandma. They were hesitant at first to try something new but very quickly they had a blast and by the end, they were saying ‘woah, i loved this!’

I don’t know about your family, but mine doesn’t really take the time to share how much we care about each other. Emily’s virtual Meet Cart party took care of that. It was so fun and created a space that allowed us to share things in our heart that we never speak out loud.”

— NANCY, LOS ANGELES CA

“Partnering with Betterish and the Meet Cart was one of the best decisions I made while organizing a virtual leadership conference. The customizable “seven-second stories” prompts Emily suggested for our event were inventive and sparked an organic dialogue. She delivered a wonderful program as MC to a large group and was attentive to every request throughout the planning process. I look forward to an opportunity to connect with The Meet Cart + Betterish again.”

-RACHAEL, SENIOR MEETING PLANNER

“Emily is a skilled facilitator of joy! It’s challenging to help strangers create authentic connections in person, never mind over the internet. but alas, emily does it with ease, grace and humor. I highly recommend trying out her virtual meet cart session...but probably only if you like having fun.”

— ERICA, DENVER CO

“We were struggling to find a way to connect our staff over the past several months. Staring at a zoom room of 30 people was not anyone’s idea of a good time. I reached out to emily after participating in a Meetful Monday session with the hopes that she could facilitate some conversations and help us actually have fun at happy hour. The first one was a hit, and the second. Her game is engaging, thoughtful, fun and gave us a way to talk about the important things in a challenging time. We will be back.”

—KELSIE, LEVER ARCHITECTURE, PORTLAND OR

“My family (which is scattered around the world) was so looking forward to celebrating my Mother’s 80th birthday all together and in person this past August. We were deeply saddened that we couldn't due to Covid, and we were struggling to figure out how to celebrate in a way that still felt extra special. The Meet Cart birthday format was perfect. It brought 25 of us together in a way that felt personal, uplifting, fun, and structured. Emily is a great emcee: she is gracious, kind, and funny. My mom, her friends, my siblings, and cousins all called or messaged me afterwards to say how much they loved this zoom celebration. Highly recommend!”

—SUSIE, LOS ANGELES CA

“Emily choreographed such an intimate and warm atmosphere for all of us to celebrate a sweet little soul who will soon be joining us in person on Mother Earth! The virtual baby shower at The Meet Cart was a complete gift of love, generosity and creativity. It was so fun getting to know the parents through the 7 second story game. What a fabulous and fun way to come together---another cherished memory in a lifetime of treasured time together.”
