Let's set expectations upfront.
You will never be put on the spot
Participate at your own comfort level
You will never be forced to share
All activities are optional and low-pressure
You can step out any time
Take breaks whenever you need them
Many attend alone — that's normal
You're not the only one coming solo
This night is structured to feel safe, respectful, and easy to engage at your own pace.
How the Night Flows
We'll begin with a brief welcome so everyone knows what to expect and can relax into the evening.
We'll start together with a light, guided icebreaker designed to warm up the room and make conversations feel natural.
Next, you'll take part in Connection Bingo — a fun, low-pressure way to meet people around the room using simple conversation prompts.
This helps break the ice before the guided conversations begin.
This is the heart of the night.
You'll rotate through a series of short, guided conversations using thoughtful prompts. Each round lasts just a few minutes — long enough to connect, short enough to stay comfortable.
This is not traditional speed dating. It's designed to feel natural, intentional, and respectful.
The structured portion of the night wraps up here. Guests with General Admission are free to head out.
VIP Night is an optional extension of the evening designed to feel more like the beginning of a first date than an event.
