Are you tired of the isolation that often comes with creative work? Do you struggle to find like-minded collaborators? We know the feeling. That's why we created Creative Minds Speed-Friending.

What to Expect Typical mixers or social gatherings can feel overwhelming, daunting, or just plain awkward. We've crafted a format for genuine connection, designed specifically to take the pressure off. The core of the evening is a series of rotating, one-on-one conversations. This structure is intentionally designed to reduce social anxiety, letting you relax, be yourself, and focus on one person at a time. Think of each brief chat as a chance for sparking inspiration. You'll move through several quick Speed-friending rounds. In each round, you might find the start of a Creative collaboration, a valuable Professional networking connection, or a lasting Friendship.
