Traditional networking hubs dominate the coasts, but great ideas and strong communities exist everywhere. We saw a need for a space where brand builders, operators, and creatives could connect with intention—without the gatekeeping or transactional fluff.

Midcoast is an experiential event company creating thoughtfully curated gatherings that bring people together in meaningful ways. Through intimate dinners, engaging discussions, and immersive brand experiences, we design spaces where real conversations happen and lasting connections are built.

Whether you’re scaling a business, refining your craft, or looking for the right people to grow with, you’ll find them here.

Come for the experiences, stay for the community.

After years of navigating the consumer brand and eCommerce space, we saw the same problem—networking felt transactional, events felt uninspired, and real connection was getting lost in the noise. So we built what was missing.

Midcoast is an experiential event company founded by Jess Cervellon and Dillon Duchesne to create gatherings that actually matter. From intimate dinners to curated brand experiences, we bring together founders, operators, and marketers who are shaping the future of consumer brands.

This isn’t another networking event—it’s a space designed for meaningful conversations, new collaborations, and connections that last beyond the room.

Founded by industry leaders Jess Cervellon & Dillon Duchesne, Midcoast brings together brand builders, operators, and creatives through immersive events designed for connection, not just networking.
