Arrive and get comfortable:
Doors open 6.45 pm. Our friendly host will welcome you and check you in. We'll give you a number, and invite you in. The first drink from the bar is on us. Mingle, or relax by yourself for a short time before the event begins.Dive straight into the action:
- Engaging One-on-one conversations: For this event, we've scrapped the usual icebreakers to instead give you a full 6 minutes with each date! You'll be given a scorecard, as well as a notepad and pen to take note of who you want to see again!
- Stuck for words? Don't sweat it! Each table is equipped with a set of witty and thought-provoking cue cards, designed to ignite deeper conversations and a few laughs along the way. So, if conversation stalls or you just want to mix it up with a new topic, simply draw a card to get things moving smoothly again.
At the end of the night, hand us your scorecard. This serves as a physical backup in case your notes are misplaced! The following day, we'll email you a quick questionnaire where you will confirm your details, decide how you want to be contacted, and fill out who you want to see again.
