F*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, Melbourne, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and is now in Montreal! π
π¦ WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
FTST is a one-of-a-kind 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 Montreal 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 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. We prioritize a balance in gender and cultural diversity where possible, making each gathering a unique blend of perspectives! 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

π€ FAQ
β’ Can I come alone?
Of course, we encourage it :)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 to keep it cozy & only invite around 25-30 people. Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings πβ’ Why do you charge?
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. β₯οΈ This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! π However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you canβt afford it send us a message!β’ Can I bring my pet llama?
100% yes, any well-behaved pets are highly encouraged as long as you can still focus on connecting with the humans around you! Especially llamas. Please confirm with us beforehand.β’ Can I get a refund if I can't make it?
Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds with less than 48 hours' notice. However, feel free to pass on your ticket to a friend [and let us know]!πΎπ€π’π ππͺπ§ππ€πͺπ¨, π‘πππ«π ππ€π£π£πππ©ππ. β¨
