Biotech Beach & Brews - Singles Only!
Details
Our next singles only meetup is at Kilowatt Brewing! Sign up early as the more people sign up, the better the odds of you meeting someone matching your likes.
This time it's $1 to join, non-refundable, to stop the no shows and last minute drop-outs. Science shows this works, and we are science or science adjacent people!
Also - entry to the event closes 2 hours before the event starts, as it takes some work to set this up. Join early :)
How this will work:
I . Put yourself on the waitlist. I add a people in a 1:1 ratio, so in theory there is an even number of fun singles. You get added by your sign-up time, no other criteria. If you sign up and don't get in right away, it means you are just waiting for another person of the opposite sex to add to the waitlist.
2. Do not be late! It really messes up the speed dating rotation for all involved. We will start with a 20 minute mingle from 5:30 to 5:50 PM. Then we will do a speed dating style meet as we did last time, 2-3 minutes depending on # of people signed up. Grab a seat, and meet someone interesting, rotate and do it again. So the math: if there are 30 of each single, it means 60-90 minutes of meeting someone.
3. Do not leave early, it is unfair to the remaining people since now there is an uneven matchup, and frankly, kinda rude dissing the remaining crowd.
4. Have your QR Code from LinkedIn ready to go. Scan the code of the person you are speaking with, either from your picture app or from the LinkedIn app.
5. Just like that, you are connected. If you feel you want to explore more than just the 2-3 minute conversation, each can now safely decide to share information beyond what is publicly on LinkedIn if they want to, or not.
6. No pressure, no harassment. Maybe this leads to a professional connection only, maybe a coffee date, maybe more, or maybe it didn't click. Just remember, we are a small community, be nice to each other.
Therefore, welcome to our third singles only event – and remember:
- You should be single. As in really, actually single. Not in a bad relationship looking for an exit ramp, living with your ex while separated, married in Tijuana but don’t think it’s valid, or in a situationship that is “complex”. Single.
- This is a no pressure situation, and your primary goals at this event are to meet people, have an open mind that you could date someone here, have a beverage or two, and have fun. Maybe you meet someone you can date, maybe not, it’s OK either way.
Finally - try NOT to talk about what you do for work. You can already see that on the LinkedIn app, and that is just not good "get to know you" conversation. Here are some things to discuss.
A. Have you met or failed that New Years Resolution you made?
B. What TV series are you binging right now and why?
C. Where was your last vacation?
I hope you sign up for this, have a great time, and we will see how it goes for our third Singles Only meetup!
