F*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and is now in Geneva! π
π¦ WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
FTST is an out-of-the-box social experience where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. Itβs also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for games, talks, and connections with friends you havenβt met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Geneva every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. π
π HOW DOES IT WORK?
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Adrien, you'll love him!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. π
πΉ HOW TO JOIN?
Our events are limited to 30 handpicked guests to ensure a cozy atmosphere. Confirm your spot on the link above to make it happen! We prioritize a balance of gender and age. If you're invited you'll receive a confirmation within 48 hours via Luma (our ticketing platform)

π WHAT THEY SAY
π£ βThis is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.β - Sonya
π£ βF*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.β - Monika
π£ "Itβs a wonderful experience, itβs like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe youβll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

(we ain't your typical meetup)π€ FAQ
β’ Can I come alone?
Of course, everyone does!β’ Can I be late?
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.β’ I signed up but never got an invite. Why?
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups, yet we like keeping it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings πβ’ Is this a networking or dating event?
Nope! Think of us as the anti-networking and anti-speed dating event. Thereβs no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. Itβs all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesnβt mean it canβt happen, itβs just not the intention!)πΎπ€π’π ππͺπ§ππ€πͺπ¨, π‘πππ«π ππ€π£π£πππ©ππ. β¨
