About this Event

Speed dating is fun. Lots of quick introductions to cool new people. We're like that, with a matchmaking twist. Instead of meeting a lot of people for a few minutes, we introduce you to the three people with whom you share the most compatibility.* From there, you get to chat with each date for fifteen to twenty minutes each.


*Compatibility: Meeting one another's preferences and aligning on long-term goals. Think: age, height, gender identity, gender expression, relationship structure (monogamy, enm, poly), politics, religion, children, pets, core values, lifestyle, etc.


To participate in Speed Matching, you must have a ticket and by Thursday, April 9th at 6pm.


Bonus: Completing a profile also enables you to be matched with Karmen Connects clients and clients from partner companies in the future.

Note: We charge a ticket price for Speed Matching to encourage maximum attendance. The more people show up, the better everyone's experience is.
