👋 COMING ON YOUR OWN?
You're in great company!
❤️ Most guests attend on their own.
✅ Lillian will welcome you and help make introductions.
✅ You'll have conversation starters to help you get talking.
✅ You'll meet different people throughout the evening.
✅ You can stay afterwards and continue conversations with people you've connected with.
You don't need to be the most outgoing person in the room. Just come as you are and be open to meeting someone new.

📌 A NOTE ABOUT ATTENDANCE
Meetup RSVP numbers show interest, but they don't confirm attendance. Members from 8 local Meetup communities are also invited, so the final turnout may differ from the number displayed on Meetup.
We recommend booking your ticket in advance to confirm your place and help us plan the group size.

Whether you're new to Vancouver or have lived here for years, you're welcome!
Please note: This is a friendship event, not a dating event.
