   What makes Sunrise Network different from other social media platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn?
   • Sunrise Network isn't built for clicks or likes, it is built for real connection and community impact. Here's how we are different:
     1. Designed for real-world relationships: Stay connected between events through personalized groups and meaningful conversations. Not just a feed.
     2. Tailored to YOU: Get weekly digest emails with recommended connections, content, and events based on your unique interests and profile tags.
     3. Thoughtful, curated content: Access thought-provoking and informational resources all in one place without the noise of traditional social media.

   How do I connect with people 1 on 1?
   • Send them a personalized message from your individual inbox, or interact within groups!

   Can I post my own events?
   • As we are rolling out this platform, we are not opening up the ability for anyone to create their own events. Our goal is to expand this and partner with organizations (as we know there are so many events!) who want their events visible by our curated community. Stay tuned for this update.
   • However, if you have an idea for an event, or know of something happening, please send it directly to Marissa Anderson and the team will review.
