Finding your people in Charlotte shouldn't feel impossible – but when you're new to the city or working remotely, it really can.

That's why I created this friend-matching event, and honestly? I'm still amazed at how well it works. Since launching last November, I've watched complete strangers walk in nervously and leave exchanging numbers, making plans, and genuinely excited about their new connections.

Here's what makes this different: You're not randomly mingling and hoping for the best. Before the event, you'll fill out a quick pre-matching questionnaire (seriously, don't skip this!), and I'll thoughtfully place you with people who actually get you – who share your vibe, your sense of humor, your interests.

Then we bring everyone together for an afternoon of activities and icebreakers designed to make connecting feel natural and easy. No awkward small talk. No wondering if you'll click with anyone. Just genuine conversations with people who could become your go-to crew.

The results speak for themselves: Month after month, attendees leave with new friends, ongoing group chats, and actual plans on the calendar.

Spots are limited and this event consistently sells out. If you're tired of wishing you had more local friends, this is your chance.

Your future friends are already signed up – don't miss out on meeting them!

IMPORTANT: Complete the pre-matching questionnaire when you register so I can find your perfect friend group!
