IMSS 4th Annual Speed Friending

Not into Valentine’s Day? You’re not alone. Come connect, mingle, and make new friends—no couples required!

Join us at the IMSS for our 4th Annual Speed Friending Event—a lively, in-person experience designed to help you expand your social circle and make genuine connections.

Feeling burnt out on family gatherings or over endless swiping? This is your chance to meet new people face-to-face in one of Chicago’s most unique spaces! Through speed friending activities, you’ll share first impressions, spark conversations, and connect with attendees. Afterward, keep the momentum going as you explore fascinating medical artifacts and enjoy conversation-starting games throughout the museum.

Whether you’re looking for new friends or simply a fun night out, we hope you'll join us for an evening filled with laughter, curiosity, and connection. Start the year off right—and maybe meet your new favorite person along the way!
