About us
Welcome to Zurich Social Networking Group! 🇨🇭
Making new friends in Zurich isn't always easy—but it doesn't have to be.
Whether you're new to the city, an expat, an internationally minded local, or simply looking to expand your social circle, you've found the right place.
Our mission is simple: to help people build genuine friendships through relaxed, professionally hosted social events.
We believe that one great conversation can lead to a new friendship, a travel companion, a hiking buddy, a brunch partner, or simply someone to enjoy the city with.
🌟 What makes us different?
Most of our members come on their own, and that's exactly what our events are designed for.
From the moment you arrive, our friendly host will welcome you, make introductions, and help conversations flow naturally, so you'll never feel like you're walking into a room where everyone already knows each other.
Our events are relaxed, inclusive, and welcoming—whether you're attending your very first Meetup or you're a regular.
Every event is designed to make meeting new people easy, enjoyable, and pressure-free.
🌍 Who joins our events?
Our community includes:
• Professionals
• Expats
• Internationally minded locals
• Newcomers to Zurich
• Solo attendees looking to meet new people
Most members are between 21 and 45, although anyone who enjoys meeting friendly, like-minded people is welcome.
❤️ A welcoming community
We are a friendship-focused community, not a dating group.
Our goal is to create a relaxed environment where people can enjoy great conversations, build meaningful connections, and feel part of a welcoming community.

7:00 PM — Welcome
Arrive at Hotel Rivington and meet your host, Neo.
She’ll be managing the evening and helping everyone settle in and start making connections.
Coming alone? Don't worry.
If you're shy or a little nervous about walking into a room full of strangers, come early. Neo can help introduce you to a few people and make those first few minutes much easier.
You don't need to know anyone beforehand.
🎃 7:30–8:30 PM — Fast Friending
This is where the Halloween social magic begins.
You'll be encouraged to speak with a different attendee every few minutes, giving you the chance to meet a whole mix of people throughout the evening.
One conversation becomes another.
One new face becomes another.
And before you know it, that room of strangers doesn't feel quite so strange anymore.
🥂 After 8:30 PM — Open Mingling
The structured Fast Friends rounds finish, and the rest of the evening is yours.
Grab a drink, continue a conversation you enjoyed or meet some of the other people you didn't get a chance to speak with during the rounds.
No more rotations.
No pressure.
Just relax and see where the evening takes you.🧙 WHY YOU SHOULD COME
✨ Meet lots of new people in one evening
👻 A fun Halloween atmosphere without the pressure of a traditional party
💬 Easy conversation starters instead of awkward approaches
🙋 Come alone — many people do
🤝 Meet both ladies and gentlemen in the 25–45 age group
🥂 Stay afterwards and continue conversations naturally
🎃 A different kind of Halloween evening — focused on people, connections and having fun
You don't need a costume.
You don't need to bring a group of friends.
And you definitely don't need to be the most outgoing person in the room.
Just show up. We'll help you meet the people.❤️ THIS IS NOT SPEED DATING
Fast Friends is not a dating or speed-dating event.
The focus is on meeting like-minded people, making new friendships and expanding your social circle.
Of course, sometimes a new friendship can turn into something more — but that's not what the evening is designed around.
Come to meet people.
Come to have conversations.
Come to see who you click with.🎟️ WHY DO WE HAVE TICKETS?
Cover our costs
Our hosts are compensated for their time and work, and we also have costs for Meetup, venues, staff and event management.
Group safety
Tickets give us a record of who is attending and help create a well-organised evening where everyone is more committed to being there.
Better management
Tickets allow us to manage group size and make sure we have an appropriate space for everyone.🕸️ A LITTLE HALLOWEEN MAGIC
Maybe you’ll arrive knowing nobody.
Maybe you'll leave having found a new group to grab drinks with.
Maybe one conversation will turn into a friendship.
You never really know what can happen when you put a room full of people together and give them a reason to talk.
This Halloween, come and cast a spell on your social life. 🎃✨
You bring yourself.
We'll bring the introductions.
See you at Hotel Rivington. 👻6 attendees
