Social Reset: Speed Friending Edition

### About This Event

Looking to meet new people in Peniche in a relaxed, no-pressure way?
This Speed Friending meetup is inspired by speed dating, but focused purely on friendship, community and connection.
It’s a fun and easy way to expand your social circle, especially if you’re new to the area or simply want to meet different people, in different areas of your life (sports, hobbies, entrepreneurship)
The event is free to attend. Drinks and refreshments are available for purchase directly from the Marriott bar.

### Who Is This Event For?

• Locals & expats
• Creatives, professionals, entrepreneurs, remote workers
• Anyone curious, social or open to meeting new people

You don’t need to be super outgoing, the format is guided and friendly.

### How Speed Friending Works

We take care of the structure so conversations feel natural and easy.
What to expect:

• A short welcome and explanation
• A light icebreaker to warm up
• Short, timed conversations (5–7 minutes each)
• Gentle rotations between conversations
• Conversation prompts to avoid awkward silences
• Open social time at the end to continue chatting freely

No preparation. No pressure.
