Where do you go to make friends? Making friends as adults can be really challenging!

Speed Friending is a fun and exciting, no pressure opportunity to meet new friends and socialize in a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The event is open to people age 18 and up, from all walks of life. We greet you at the door, help you get ready for the Speed Friending activities, and help you get comfortable in the room with other attendees. We know you might be nervous, and that's normal when putting yourself out there to meet people, so we take extra care in how we craft our events to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible. Get ready to relax and enjoy growing your social network!

All proceeds from this event go right back into Social Tinkering, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, helping us to continue our work to grow meaningful connection to reduce and heal social isolation and loneliness. Learn more about our work on our website.

Join our Connection Movement!! Have a great time meeting new friends while also supporting a great cause.
