About us
Welcome to Zurich Social Networking Group! đ¨đ
Making new friends in Zurich isn't always easyâbut 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.
đ 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 welcomingâwhether 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.
đ 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.
â¤ď¸ 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.
