✨How it works
💬 Think speed dating—but for friends! You’ll have a series of quick, fun one-on-one chats (about 5 minutes per person)
🎟 When the bell rings, you’ll move on to chat with someone new
❓ We’ll provide optional conversation starters to keep things flowing
🗣 After the rounds, you can stay, mingle, and chat over drinks
This event is all about meeting real people in real life, getting off your phone, and making genuine connections.
Come alone or with a friend. Don’t worry - almost everyone will be coming on their own!

The Story
It all began when I relocated and found myself in need of new friends.
Whether I was in my hometown of Perth, Australia, or when I moved to Melbourne, New Zealand, or Ireland, one thing became clear—no matter where you are, people crave more opportunities to connect and build meaningful friendships.
And that’s how Speed Friending started.
And the rest is history.
