How it works

When you arrive at one of Leeds' best venues, you'll be welcomed by our friendly host. After a quick introduction explaining how the event works, you'll be ready to start meeting people.

You'll have a series of 4-minute conversations with different attendees. It's the perfect amount of time to get to know someone and see if you'd like to continue the conversation later.

Everyone takes turns moving around the room, so you'll have the chance to meet up to 30 people of both genders throughout the evening.

We'll have a short break halfway through, giving you time to grab another drink and chat with people you've already met.

After the event

Once you've met everyone, your host will wrap up the structured part of the evening, but the event doesn't end there. You're welcome to stay, relax, and continue chatting with your new connections.

The following day, simply select the people you'd like to stay in touch with. If you both choose each other, you'll be matched and can then message each other to arrange your next meetup. It's that simple.
