Susan is the founder of Posthoc, an organization that hosts salons around the world. During Covid, she launched The Salon Host as an educational resource to inspire others to host their own community gatherings when the pandemic ended. The Salon Host educates users on how to host a low fuss salon and celebrates the power of gathering by bringing people together to share ideas, stimulate conversations, spark connections, and build community.
Susan’s been called Martha Stewart meets The Royal Tenenbaums, the Gertrude Stein of our time, and “the hippest party hostess in the history of Silicon Valley’s pocket pen-protector set” according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Her salon manifesto explains the importance of salon-type gatherings within a community. The crux of her story is about what it means to step up and become the connective tissue in your community, and the kind of alchemy we can all create by bringing people together in a very analog and imperfect manner in an AI-run world.
Urgent, relevant, and on-point, her POSTHOC salons create thought-provoking, spirited conversations that continue to resonate in the world at large, long after the last guests go home.
“We’re ready for something new that nourishes our soul, sparks our curiosity and connects us. I’m changing the world one salon at a time. I’m building a movement around stimulating conversation in real life, and I’m having so much fun doing it that I’m here to convince you to join me on this journey.”
