Young Professionals Festival Social Mixer Visit @ Oktoberfest, Mountain View
Starbucks Coffee Company, 750 Castro Street, Park Place South, Mountain View, CA 94041, USA, Mountain View, CA, USFor all the early career professionals, the new in towns and the singles. Come enjoy the culture and make new friends, with our after-shift volunteers who are staffing the festival.
This is the in-festival social part of the Mountain View Oktoberfest trilogy, as we already have a good sized group volunteering team in the festival. It is to continue the festival social we did in Art & Wine, updated upon feedbacks from last time.
https://www.meetup.com/townflame/events/313120748Compared with Art & Wine, Oktoberfest is a festival that lends well to social. More light hearted, the attendees tend to be younger crowd, and more open. And the festival itself has quite some programs you can attend. The Mountain View one has been growing after the Chambers taking over about 2 years back, it is estimated about 30k.
https://www.mvoktoberfest.com/As usual, our events is geared toward forming connections for participants. Welcome the new in towns, or any professionals that want some new friends to experience another culture event in town. We are going to do some small group based shuffling for this. So come talk with people, and find your group mates.
By the feedback we received last time, we will divide people by age groups, most probably 20~30s, then 40+. Within the age groups, we will have people self select into smaller groups, recruit social captains to host each group, and attend the festival together. Then regroup and remix, so giving people a better chance to know more people.
This is also a service we want to provide to the community. We cannot promise you a result, we can promise you a process. And by our culture, we will call for willing people to step up, acting as squad hosts, and other roles, besides our volunteers.
Schedule:
Location: Starbucks, Castro street
Time: 3:30 - 4:00pm Meet & Greet.
4 - 4:15pm Group forming walk, social captains volunteering
4:15 - 5:15 Going into festival with social captains.
