About this event
- Event lasts 2 hours
🔥 Skip the swiping—come meet real, local people in person! 🔥
Looking to expand your social circle, make new friends, and have meaningful conversations? Quick Connections is the perfect way to meet like-minded people in a fun and structured setting—without the pressure of dating!
The night starts with a casual mingle & mixer—grab yourself a drink to loosen up those nerves (no longer included, but still encouraged) and chat before the dating rounds begin.
Not sure how to start a conversation? We’ve got you covered with icebreaker questions to spark fun and engaging discussions! ✨ As the night progresses, you’ll rotate through quick, timed chats, meeting new people and making genuine connections. While a romantic match could happen, that’s not the focus here—this event is all about friendship and community.
⏳ Important Notes:
· Arrive 15–30 minutes early to settle in. We start on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
· This is NOT a traditional speed dating event. Gender ratios are not guaranteed, and the event will still run regardless of attendance breakdown.
· If you're coming solely to find a romantic partner, this is not the event for you. Come with an open mind and the goal of meeting great people!
✨ Whether you’re new to town, looking to expand your social circle, or just want to meet interesting people in a laid-back setting, Quick Connections is the perfect place to spark new friendships!
