About us
We host structured social events to help people get closer, faster. We use techniques grounded in psychological research to offer people the tools they need to interact more genuinely and feel more connected to each other in their daily lives. We've read the white papers, sorted through the abstracts, and connected the dots to create social interaction activities that actually work. We've hosted hundreds of public and private events, from breweries and bookstores to offices and colleges. You may currently join us for in-person events in more than 15 North American cities, along with bringing these events to France and the UK. Interested in getting involved in these cities, or helping us launch elsewhere?
