About this Event

What could your social life look like when you meet more people who share your life path as an adult doing life without kids?

If you’re Childfree, Childless, a DINK (double-income-no-kids), or a SINK (single, no kids), join us for a fun Saturday morning connection experience with others walking parallel paths.

PARALLEL Social Club, a Los Angeles-based social wellness community, is hosting a special popup event in Chicago!

Join a room full of people who understand that a childfree life doesn’t have to feel like a backup plan. It's a life worth building with intention.

Your morning includes coffee, breakfast bites, an interactive friend matchmaking experience, and a hosted conversation about creating a full, connected life without kids, featuring voices from the childfree community.

$25 Ticket - RSVP .


🤝 FRIEND MATCHMAKING EXPERIENCE

When you arrive, you’ll scan a QR code and fill out a quick, values-based quiz on your phone. As everyone mingles, Matchbox technology will use a relationship-science backed algorithm to identify your most compatible new friend connection in the room, then tell you why. Then comes the reveal: everyone’s phones will count down together before showing the name of your friend match. Connect with someone new and explore commonalities in this lighthearted, fun activity.

💬 HOSTED CONVERSATION

After the social mixer, we'll gather for an honest, engaging conversation featuring voices from the childfree community about freedom, flexibility, friendship, community, and the possibilities that open up when you're building a life without kids.
