Users can discover new connections, host and attend relevant industry events and engage in a supportive community.

The private network that connects members across clubs β to meet, to host, to share. The club scene has never been stronger, but every club is its own world. ByInvite connects them: a private, invitation-only network where members meet across clubs and venues, host their own gatherings, and share invitations with people they trust. Every member arrives by introduction, and every profile is reviewed β so the people you meet are the people you'd want to meet. CONNECT ACROSS CLUBS Meet vetted members who share your interests, industry or city β within your club and far beyond it. LIVE PLANS Share a spontaneous plan β coffee this morning, drinks tonight β and let the right people join. See nearby plans and venues on the map. Never live member locations, by design. HOSTED EVENTS Host dinners, tastings and tables, with invitations and guest lists handled in-app β or join gatherings hosted by fellow members. From exhibition openings to quiet lunches, hosts shape the experience. PRIVATE VENUES Explore a curated selection of members' clubs, galleries, prviate and cultural venues β and find a welcome when travelling. THE BYINVITE CONCIERGE A concierge that knows what's on and where β ask for a venue recommendation, or help planning your next evening. DISCRETION BY DESIGN No public profiles. Your data is never sold or advertised against. Who sees you, and when, is always in your control. Membership is by invitation from an existing member, or by application β every profile is reviewed to keep the community exceptional. ByInvite facilitates introductions; access to venues and events is always decided by hosts.
