F\*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and is now in **Budapest!**
✨ **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. It’s 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 haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Budapest every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you.
✨ **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 (Keely, you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly.
**✨ HOW TO JOIN?**
**[Take 1 minute to sign up](https://luma.com/ftstbudapest1)**
On your phone and can’t click? Click the link in the comments :)
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)
NOTE: We won't validate your payment unless you've been accepted! (which you most likely will ❤️)

3 hours of facilitated and curated activities
Light **snacks** to keep the energy going

A space to meet **new** **people** in the least boring way possible
Supporting our **mission** to slowly eliminate small talk around the world
*( also includes those pesky **ticket fees**!)*
**✨ WHERE IS IT?**
We host our events in awesome bars across the city. We only **reveal the exact location** upon confirmation.
**✨ WHAT THEY SAY**
“This is the kind of activity **humanity needs every weekend**. Thank you for all.”
*\- Sonya*
“F\*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.**”
\- Monika
"It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s 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 you’ll 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)*
**✨ FAQ**
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, everyone does!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• 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
**• Is this a networking or dating event?**
Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. There’s no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. It’s all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesn’t mean it *can’t* happen, it’s just not the intention!)
\-\-\-
\* Location is only revealed to ticket holders!
\* Age guide, 22-39 years old (only a reference of what you expect, not a limit )
***This event is a no-phone experience.***
We started in Berlin back in 2019 out of the frustration of being asked 'where are you from?' a million times at every single meetup! Now there are chapters in nearly 20 cities, including London, Lisbon, Buenos Aires, Zurich, and Vancouver! ️
We're part of the Epic Llama Universe. We design out-of-the-box experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and human connection. We're on a mission to make boring brilliant!

Egynapos Impró Színházi Workshop Ábellel
Egynapos impró színházi workshop Farkas Ábel vezetesével, a Flow Színház szervezésében. Semmilyen előképzettség vagy színházi ismeret nem szükséges. A workshop 9:45-től, 17:00-ig tart (közepén ebédszünettel).
Early bird jelentkezés Február 25-ig.
A részvétel regisztrációhoz kötött. A workshop maximum kapacitása 14 fő. Jelentkezés az alábbi linken:
https://shop.flowszinhaz.hu/impro-szinhazi-workshop-2/
Mindenkiben megvan a képesség az improvizálásra, hiszen minden nap ezt tesszük. A színjátszásban egy lényeges nehezítő körülmény, hogy mások néznek minket, és úgy érezzük, elvárják, hogy alakítsunk valamit. Ez sok feszültséget szül bennünk, és megnehezíti, hogy természetesen viselkedjünk. Az impróban egy másik jelentős nehézség, hogy fogalmunk sincs, mit fog a társunk (társaink) csinálni, és ahhoz hogy kapcsolódjunk. Ez a bizonytalanség további frusztrációt kelt. A tréning során olyan irányelveket, technikákat gyakorlunk, melyek segítenek, hogy a fent említett nehézségeken úrrá legyünk. Ezen módszerek alkalmazása túlmutat a színjátszáson, és az élet más területein is hasznos, mint például a társas együttélés, csapatmunka és kommunikáció.
Tréner:
Farkas Ábel matematikus, bűvész és impró tréner. Több mint 10 éve foglalkozik impró szinhazzal, három kontinensen tanulta és gyakorolta angol és magyar nyelven. A Flow Szinház vezetője.
Helyszín:
Jurányi Produkciós Közösségi Inkubátorház, A epület 3. emelet (3. szint) folyosó végén balra, Közép-Európai Ír Tánc Akadémia terme
! A próbaterembe utcai cipővel nem szabad belépni, helyette váltócipőben, papucsban, zokniban vagy mezítláb lehet. Ezenkívül kényelmes ruha javasolt.
Időbeosztás:
9:45-13:00 Tréning
13:00-13:50 Ebédszünet
13:50-17:00 Tréning
A workshop után be szoktunk ülni közösen a Jurányi bárjába
A workshop díja:
Early bird 16 500 Forint/fő (Február 25-ig regisztrálva)
Normál 19 800 Forint/fő
Az eseményt felnőttek számára tervezzük, ezért csak felnőttek jelentkezését várjuk.
Késés és a csoportmunkát hátráltató vagy zavaró viselkedés esetén a részvételt megtagadhatjuk. Ennek elbírálása a tréner szabad belátására van bízva. Ilyen helyzetben részvételi díjat nem áll módunkban visszatéríteni.
Regisztráció után a részvételi díj nem visszatéríthető. Ha a résztvevő nem tud részt venni, a részvételi díjat nem áll módunkban visszatéríteni. Ilyen esetben a részvétel átruházható más személyre.

\*\*A photography experience for women in transition
Limited to max. 3 participants
\*\*
[https://healingtalkswoman.com/healing-photoshoot--film](https://healingtalkswoman.com/healing-photoshoot--film)
[https://www.instagram.com/her.soul____?igsh=MWYwbGMydTBieGZqZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr](https://www.instagram.com/her.soul____?igsh=MWYwbGMydTBieGZqZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr)
Her Soul is an unique portrait photography experience, where images are created through presence, gentle movement, and attention.
The focus is photography.

What is Her Soul?
Her Soul is designed for women who are in a transitional phase of life:
closing a chapter
entering something new
letting go
redefining themselves
choosing themselves again
The portraits are not about posing or performance. They are about arrival.
Images are created from who you are in this moment from your presence, your movement, your silence.
How the session works
This is a small group format (maximum 3 women), but each participant receives her own individual portrait session.
The process includes:
a short arrival and grounding phase
gentle, guided movement to connect with your body
individual portrait photography
calm, focused attention throughout the session
You will not be asked to share personal stories unless you choose to.
There is no group discussion requirement.
What you receive (per participant)
Individual portrait photography session
Personal attention and direction during the shoot
A curated selection of retouched digital images (high resolution)
A calm, safe, non-performative environment
Practical details
📍 Location: Budapest (details shared after registration)

Dinner & a Movie: PROJECT HAIL MARY at Marcus Pickerington!
Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U
BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.”
MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm! Tickets already on sale and will likely move fast for this hot ticket / opening weekend showing so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. As a head’s up, this is a longer movie at 2hrs 36mins.
DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the movie at 5:30pm at group favorite, FUGU SUSHI, located just next door! Separate RSVP required for the Dinner / Movie portions of this event. An RSVP here means you're signed up for the MOVIE! This portion will be open as long as seats remain. If you also plan to join for dinner, please also RSVP in the separate event listing for the dinner portion of this event.
Should be a good one, Dan
Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Kevin Rhodus from Lucy Deep Park Northside is coming to talk to us about his extensive neighborhood Christmas light display that is open in November and December every year north of Dublin.
9 houses over 12 acres and over 120,000 individual controlled lights that sync to music which you can tune into on your radio! Quite impressive!
https://ldplights.com/
We'll dive into the tech that runs the show -- should be a blast to hear about this very elaborate display!
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.
This session will be at the Dublin Library in the Meeting Room 2
Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: TOW vs THEY WILL KILL YOU at the Gateway!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of the top-reviewed indie drama TOW or the action-comedy-horror THEY WILL KILL YOU! A winner either way! Here are details, trailer and plan for this event:
TOW: This drama follows a homeless Seattle woman who fights her way out of tow-company hell to reclaim her life and the car that held it all together after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. The film is directed by Stephanie Laing and stars Rose Byrne, Dominic Sessa, Demi Lovato, Ariana DeBose, Octavia Spencer, Simon Rex, Elsie Fisher and Corbin Bernsen. Tow premiered to rave reviews at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival where critics declared, “Tow is a winner” and called the film “a story of perseverance, heart, and real fight, the kind of small human story we see less frequently these days, but need now more than ever!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiUtqgeDVI8
THEY WILL KILL YOU: A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery.

The Graduate
This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations.
After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.
