Why Hundreds Of Thousands Are Choosing To Go Offline

A powerful movement is sweeping across America and Europe as hundreds of thousands of people flock to events where phones are either banned or locked away, desperate to reclaim genuine human connection in a world dominated by screens. The trend comes as no surprise when you learn that 68% of teens say they feel worse after spending too much time on social media, and nearly half would delete social platforms entirely if they could. Companies like Kanso, Sofar Sounds, and the app 222 are now curating offline experiences for concerts, dates, and social gatherings where participants rediscover the simple joys of reading, chatting, and playing board games without the constant distraction of scrolling.

The results have been remarkable, with one Kanso founder reporting that guests at their first New York City event stayed well past the scheduled end time, formed real friendships, and one attendee even met an investor who wired money into his startup the very next day. The Offline Club of Europe has grown to over half a million Instagram followers, with chapters across the continent gathering at venues where smartphones are locked in boxes at the start of each event. Sofar Sounds hosts intimate pop up concerts in 400 cities worldwide, revealing venue locations less than 24 hours before showtime and asking participants to put phones away during performances held everywhere from apartments to Richard Branson’s homes. The rapid growth of these services proves that no matter how digitized the world becomes, there are countless people for whom analog connection will always be the preferred way to truly find their people.
