How to Meet New People at a Bingo Event - Warren

This online session, designed for the Warren community, explores how to meet new people at a bingo event. Many people enjoy the game but find it challenging to connect with others in a fast-paced virtual environment. You can feel stuck, focusing only on your digital cards. This talk is designed to provide you with simple, low-pressure strategies to make your next online bingo game more social and enjoyable.

We will explore the importance of small actions that make a big difference in a digital space. You will get insights on how logging in a few minutes early can create opportunities for conversation in the chat before the calling starts. We will also discuss virtual presence. Choosing to be active in the chat, rather than just observing, can significantly increase your chances of interaction. It’s about positioning yourself to be approachable from the very beginning of the online event.

You will learn about conversation starters that are natural and relevant to the online setting. Instead of generic questions, we focus on simple observations about the game, the virtual daubers, or the shared excitement of a near-win. These contextual openers, perfect for chatting with fellow Warren players, feel less forced and can easily lead to a friendly exchange. The goal is to understand how to use the shared activity as a bridge for connection.

In this talk, you will discover more about:

• Simple techniques for breaking the ice in the chat before the first number is called.
• Using the breaks between games effectively for brief, friendly chats.
• Understanding approachable online etiquette that signals you are open to conversation.
• How to turn a simple game of online bingo into a chance to make new acquaintances.

By the end of this session, you will have a clear understanding of several practical methods for socializing during online bingo. While this talk is tailored for our Warren community, the focus is on building confidence through simple, actionable steps that anyone can use immediately, no matter where they are tuning in from.
