Want to meet friendly people efficiently and in a low-pressure, fun setting?

Come to Friending Chicago style, where you can quickly and easily meet great people who are also looking for friends.

What is Friending Chicago style you ask? It is set up just like speed dating, except here you meet EVERYONE at the event, not just the opposite sex. You NEVER get that chance at traditional mixers. You will be seated at a table with one other person and get 3-5 minutes of one on one time with them. When I ring the bell you will rotate to the next table and meet your new friend! At the end of the night you will meet 25+ potential new friends, professional connections, or romantic encounters.

Who is Friending Chicago style for? EVERYONE! Expanding your social and professional circle is always a good thing. We get a lot of people new to Chicago, looking to professionally network, and people that want to try something new! It is a very unique event that only we offer.

 

Additional details for this event are below, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. This is an event you need to try out! They are so much fun and you meet tons of great people.

“Thanks for hosting the event!! It was a great platform to meet and greet new people. All the strangers whom I saw at 7:30pm last night, turned out to be fabulous friends just in a matter of a couple of hours :). And all of them are so nice and passionate professionals in their respective careers. I am glad that I could make it and it was worth driving from the suburbs.”

“Speed friending Chicago is a great way to get out and meet new people. I went to my first event alone and walked out of it with 6 new friends. There is no pressure or obligations at these events and you can be yourself without worrying about others judging you. The environment is very social and you will find that there are many people just like you eager to get to know you. Do not hesitate to attend one of these events if you’d like to try something new! “A hello could lead to a million things”
