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.

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.

RIVINGTON is in the Prime Tower at Hardstrasse 201, right next to Hardbrücke station. Zürich HB is around 8 minutes away, making it convenient whether you live in Zurich or are coming from elsewhere.✨ What Makes Fast Friends Different?
At many social events, you arrive and naturally end up talking to the people you already know — or spend half the evening trying to work out who you should approach.
Fast Friends is designed differently.Our host guides you through a series of short, relaxed conversation rounds, giving you the chance to meet lots of different people throughout the evening.
You don't have to approach strangers.You don't have to worry about awkward introductions.
And you don't have to spend the evening in one group.
Just turn up, grab a drink and let us take care of the introductions.🎯 Plus: Common Ground
Our fun guided connection activity helps you discover unexpected things you have in common with people you've just met — taking the conversation beyond the usual small talk.❤️ What to Expect
