Open Coffee Lisbon Evening Social

Join us for the Open Coffee Lisbon Evening Social—a relaxed, welcoming gathering designed for anyone in Lisbon’s vibrant startup and professional community who wants to connect beyond the usual business talk. Hosted by Richard Lucas and the friendly Open Coffee Lisbon team, this event is all about genuine conversations, new friendships, and building a supportive network in a laid-back atmosphere.

Many of our current event participants head out for lunch to hang out after our sell out morning meetings. We decided to offer a more social event in fabulous setting.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, student, creative, tourist, or simply curious, you’ll find a space where everyone is encouraged to mingle, share stories, and discover common interests.

Our events are open and welcoming to people from all backgrounds. You will be surprised to see how many different nationalities come together at these events.

This is not a speed dating/pickup type event. Everyone who attends is entitled to feel safe, not be harassed or pressured. We had some complaints.

EVENT STRUCTURE:
We will have a structured first sixty minutes with icebreakers aimed at making things easy for people to connect with one another. Then participants are welcome to hang out and socialise as they wish after the structured part of the meeting is over.
REACH OUT:
If you have a community initiative you want to share or announce, let us know in advance.
