Join us on September 29th for Lisbon's friendliest informal networking event. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a freelancer, a student, an expat, or simply someone who loves meeting interesting people, this is your chance to connect with the city's startup and business community.
What is Open Coffee?
It's an "un-meeting" — no speaker, no agenda, no formalities. Just people who want to help each other.
Here's how it works:
· We meet at 9:30 sharp
· Everyone gets 1-2 minutes to share:
· Who they are and what they're working on
· What they need (a co-founder, a client, feedback, a mentor...)
· How they can help others
· After about an hour, the hosting stops and you're free to talk with the people who interest you most
Why come?
You might find a mentor, an investor, a client, a co-founder, an employer, or a new friend. You might just find the inspiration you've been looking for. Everyone is welcome — and we especially love first-timers.
The details:
· When: September 29th, 9:30 AM
· Where: ForkLore
· Cost: a minimum of 1 consumption at the bar.
More than just coffee — join the ForkLore community
Open Coffee is just one of the ways ForkLore brings people together. Throughout the week, we also host:
· Acoustic Jam Session — every Monday 19h30
· Language Exchange — every Wednesday 19h30
· Board & Card Games — every Sunday 19h
Come as you are. Listen if you're shy, speak if you're ready. Either way, you'll be glad to meet you.
We start at 09:30 AM sharp. Everybody gets up to 2 minutes to present:
- Who they are and what they are doing
- What they want
- How they can help others
At 10:30 AM we stop hosting and you can talk to people who are most interesting to you.
