On your phone and **can’t click**? Click the link in the comments!
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 ❤️)
**✨ HOW MUCH IS IT?**
The cost to attend is HUF 5,900 (early bird) HUF 6,900 (general), and includes the following:
🗣️3 hours of facilitated and curated activities
👋 Access to the **Llamas** **in** **Budapest** WhatsApp group
🍏 Light snacks to keep the energy going
🎈A space to meet **new** **people** in the least boring way possible
🚀 Supporting our **mission** of fueling human connection
*( also includes those pesky **ticket fees**!)*
**✨ WHERE IS IT?**
We host our events in awesome venues and parks across the city. We only **reveal the exact location** upon confirmation. Since this event will be **outdoors in a park**\*, please bring a blanket or something you feel comfortable sitting on in the grass. We’ll gather in small groups of 3–4 people so that blankets will be shared. 🌳
In case of bad weather, the location will be changed to an indoor venue in District VIII, Budapest.
**✨ 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."

*(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!

Beginner/Intermediate Guitar Class
Looking forward to see you again this Sunday!
Tea and snacks are served right after the class to socialize and chat about random things. And of course I'm ready to answer your questions.
**General description of the class:**
Our class is all about beginning stages: playing chords, tabs, holding guitar properly and getting the fingers ready to play. We will have enough time to cover the basics, discuss what we would like to improve and get playing at least one simple song! I also speak Hungarian, so if there is anyone who doesn’t understand English, I will translate on the go.
Any newcomers are welcome and I will help you to get started and develop together with others.
**What to bring:**
* A pen and notebook, so you can take notes as needed.
* Guitar (if you don't have one, you can use mine during the class, but definitely you should get a guitar later if you want to learn guitar properly).
This event is totally **free of charge**, **but I appreciate donations, which helps me, the organizer, to cover the bills. Recommended donation: 2,500 HUF.**
Feel free to **bring your friends**. We have enough space!
**I recommend joining our Telegram channel** to get notified about announcements or any cancellations: https://t.me/budapestGuitarClub
Aquincum Floralia
When in Budapest... do as the Romans do! Join us for a unique Kerek Perec experience at the Aquincum Floralia festival!
This event will be a little different from our usual ones, as we’re heading to a museum setting where we’ll step back in time and experience life in Ancient Rome through live acting performances. It’s a great opportunity to practice Hungarian in a fun, immersive environment while also enjoying culture and history.
We’ll have some light activities prepared, but this event is also about freedom and exploration—there will be plenty of programs, performances, and things to see throughout the venue, so you’re encouraged to walk around, discover, and enjoy the atmosphere at your own pace.
Important: please note that your Cooltix event ticket does not include the museum entrance. We will purchase the museum tickets together at the entrance. Prices are:
* 3500 HUF for adults
* 1750 HUF for students
You can buy yous cooltix ticket [here](https://cooltix.hu/event/69f84372bd628d5ebfa89873):

If you’d like to join but feel a bit nervous about coming alone, feel free to message us—we’re happy to meet up with you before the event starts. That said, most of our participants come on their own, so you definitely won’t be the only one :)
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

This conversation is designed to help you move from uncertainty to confidence when it comes to building and managing your team.
***
## **What You’ll Learn**
* When it’s the right time to hire
* How to set your business up for success before bringing on employees
* Why HR matters — even for small businesses
* Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
* The foundational HR knowledge every business owner should have
***
## **Who Should Attend**
* Entrepreneurs preparing to hire their first employee
* Small business owners currently managing a team
* Founders looking to strengthen operations and compliance
* Anyone who wants to build a business with a strong, scalable foundation
***
## **Why Attend?**
* Gain clarity on one of the most important aspects of business growth
* Learn how to avoid costly mistakes before they happen
* Ask questions and get real-world insight from an HR professional
* Walk away with practical knowledge you can apply immediately
***
## **About 1 Million Cups**
1 Million Cups is a national program that brings entrepreneurs and communities together to learn, connect, and grow through presentations and discussion. Loudoun’s chapter meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays each month.
Join us on **May 27** for coffee, connection, and a conversation that will help you build your business the right way from the inside out.

Learn Meditation and Stress Management in MD
Learn to manage stress and achieve self-growth through simple relaxation and Meditation.
Heartfulness Meditation is a simple, modern, methodical approach to meditation. Rather than homing in on your breath or repeating a mantra, you simply focus inward, on your heart, to cultivate inner strength and serenity. Heartfulness meditation is gaining traction in recent years. It focuses on the heart, allowing individuals to connect with themselves on a deeper level, and ultimately achieve peace, relaxation, and clarity. It is a practice that encourages patience, self-compassion, and acceptance, helping cultivate a deeper appreciation for the present moment.
This practice is offered with love and at no cost
