About this Event

Meet a Mutual is a fun take on the pitch-a-friend trend where attendees promote or β€œsell” a friend to the audience with a presentation.

Make your friend a live dating app profile and then present it in-person to a party of people hosted by a Meeting Mutuals - in Jackie's stadium room!



Here's how it typically works:
  • You, the friend, present your fabulous single friend who you think is awesome - highlighting their personality, quirks, interests, and what makes them a great catch - in a live presentation on a projector screen.
  • The presentation should be lighthearted and witty, kind of like a mini sales pitch or a dating profile, but with a personal touch.
  • It happens in real life! In front of an audience!
  • Include photos, videos, or fun facts to make the pitch more compelling.



How to participate:
  • Email us: Send us a Google Slides Deck pitching your single friend (with their permission) by March 19th. We will select only 8 Meet-a-Mutual decks to present at this event.
  • We'll let you know by March 23rd if you've been selected as a presenter. We'll also have a waitlist just in case we have time for more presentations - we'll let you know if you should be prepared.
  • Attend Meet-A-Mutual on March 26th: Show up and check in with the Host at 6:30pm.
  • Social: Promote the event on your socials! Invite your mutuals out to support you and your friend :)



If you want to be a presenter, and pitch a mutual to our live audience: email your presentation (Google Slide decks ONLY) to [email protected] by March 19th. We will review it, and if selected, we'll let you know by March 23rd.

All pitches are subject to approval. Meeting Mutuals reserves the right to refuse or remove any presentation that is offensive, inappropriate, misleading, or not aligned with the values or format of the event.
