Speed friending in Riga
Speed friending is an event where, on a signal, people switch tables. You'll have five minutes to get a feel for the person and decide whether you're open to meeting them again.
Speed friending is perfect for those looking to find an interesting conversational partner or partner in one evening. It's a great option for those with busy schedules, newcomers to the city, introverts, and those looking for new contacts. Dozens of people from various professions will gather in one location: from IT professionals to miniature Pekingese breeders. Who knows how this might come in handy in the future?
**free** event

Speed friending (ātrās iepazīšanās) ir pasākums, kurā pēc signāla sarunu biedri maina galdus. Jums būs piecas minūtes, lai izjustu cilvēka atmosfēru un sapratu, vai esat gatavi sazināties nākotnē.
Ātrās iepazīšanās der tiem, kas vienā vakarā vēlas atrast interesantu sarunu biedru vai partneri. Lieliska iespēja cilvēkiem ar blīvu grafiku, pilsētas jaunpienācējiem, intrvertiem un tiem, kas meklē jaunus kontaktus. Vienā vietā pulcēsies desmitiem cilvēku no dažādām profesijām: no IT speciālistiem līdz pekinēzu audzētājiem. Kas zina, kā tas var noderēt nākotnē?
