Speed Friendships (Not Speed Dating)

Looking to meet new people in Budapest without the awkwardness of networking events or the pressure of dating?

Speed Friendships is a fun, interactive social experience where you'll enjoy a series of engaging 8-minute conversations with new people in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

...except nobody is dating.

Whether you're an expat, a local, a professional, an entrepreneur, or simply someone who enjoys meaningful conversations, this evening is designed to help you connect with interesting people and leave with genuine new friendships.

✨ What You'll Experience

During the evening, you'll rotate through a series of fun, guided conversations with different people. Each round features a unique conversation theme designed to help you move beyond small talk and create authentic connections.

By the end of the evening, you'll have met 10 to 15 new people without ever having to wonder who to talk to next.

We'll take care of the structure.

You simply relax, enjoy the conversations, and have fun.
