F*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin to London to Lisbon to Mexico City and has now landed in Vancouver! 🍁

πŸ“¦ WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
FTST is a one-of-a-kind social experience where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also just a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for an afternoon of games, talks, and connections with friends you haven’t met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Vancouver every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life then this is the place for you. πŸ™Œ

🎈 HOW DOES IT WORK?
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few fun games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups (of 3) and start with the conversation rounds. We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation.
You'll be guided by an experienced host who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. 🍭

🧧 HOW MUCH IS IT?
The cost to attend is CAD 23-25 and includes the following:
🎈3 hours of facilitated and curated activities
πŸ₯ͺ Light snacks to keep the energy going (only if outdoors)
πŸ‘₯ A space to meet new people in the least boring way possible
πŸ’› Supporting our mission to slowly eliminate small talk around the world
🎫 Also includes those pesky ticket fees!
If you aren't able to afford this just send us a message and we’ll figure something out. We also have student/low-income tickets available. πŸ™‚

πŸ—ΊοΈ WHERE IS IT?
We host our events in awesome bars & parks across the city. We only reveal the location to ticket holders 24 hours before the event.

πŸ’› WHAT THEY SAY
πŸ—£ β€œGreat way to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!” - Matthias

πŸ—£ β€œThis is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.” - Sonya

πŸ—£ β€œF*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika

πŸ—£ β€œI loved F*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda

πŸ—£ "it’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

πŸ—£ β€œLively, interesting, introspective, completely open and no judgement. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! β€œ - Yaz

πŸ€“ FAQ
β€’ Can I come alone?
Of course, in fact, we encourage it. 98% of people do!

β€’ Can I be late?
Please don't! We are very punctual ;)

β€’ I signed up but never got an invite. Why?
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25-30ish people. Experience has told us that t believe this is a good number to ensure an awesome experience! Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings πŸ’›

β€’ Why do you charge?
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. β™₯️ This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it simply get in touch with us :)

β€’ Can I get a refund if I can't make it?
Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds or ticket transfers to another event date if you cannot attend with a notice of less than 48 hours notice. BUTTTT feel free to pass on your ticket to a friend, provided they also sign up the form πŸ™‚

β€’ I'm digging this! Can I get involved somehow?
Sure thing, send us a message! :)

β€’ Can I bring my cute dog/llama?
Absolutely! (ask us, depends on venue)
