Join us for an evening where networking meets a fun, fast-paced format. Rotate through curated small groups, engage in meaningful conversations, and send "likes" for business or friendship connections. Our pre-matched groups ensure you meet like-minded individuals, making networking both comfortable and efficient. We've done the groundwork for you, matching you with people who share your interests and goals, so you connect with individuals who truly resonate with your professional and personal aspirations.

Whether you're looking to grow your business circle, find a collaborator, meet fellow transplants, or just make a new friend, this event is for you. We're mixing up traditional networking with a fun, fast-paced format to spark real connections—minus the stiff handshakes.

How it Works:

• Before the event, you'll fill out a short questionnaire about your networking goals and friendship vibe.
• At the event, you'll rotate through small groups of 4–6 people—like speed dating, but for business and friendship, using our top-tier tech to pair you!
• Want to connect further with someone? You can send a “like” through our system. If it’s mutual, we’ll send you each other’s contact info after the event—no pressure, no need to ask for numbers/LinkedIns!

💬 Plus: we’ll have time for open mingling before and after to keep the conversations going.

🎟️ Tickets are limited—grab yours now and come connect with Charlotte’s best and brightest!
