It’s speed-dating, but for friends. Welcome to all.

You'll talk with Person A for a short amount of time (five-ten minutes), until you hear the chime, and then you'll talk with Person B for a short amount of time, Person C, Person D, and so on. At the end of the conversation rounds, you'll have an opportunity to (comfortably) follow up with people you've already talked to and to chat with folks you didn't get a chance to meet, building on the shared-experience of the gathering, making back and forth easy and organic.

Come with the expectation of a low-key, enjoyable, unique experience. Cherry on top? A connection or three with people you'd like to see again.

Bonus: a quick "how to (and how to not) network" crash course from someone who built a successful twenty+ year career on word of mouth, community, and enjoyable and replenishing, not awkward and depleting, "getting out there," and whom often hears, "You know so many people! You know so many fun things to do! You're such a delight to be around!" Your host is responsible for too many to count friendships and seven marriages, including her own (she and Husband met at one of her events).
