Beyond Small Talk: Speed Dating, Reimagined
Forget the usual way of meeting people. Beyond Small Talk, presented by Open Canvas Events, brings singles together for some real conversations, followed by a little friendly competition on the bowling lanes. It's a chance to build on whatever conversations you'd started, making it easier to get to know one another in a more natural way. Come for the conversations, stay for the fun, and see where the afternoon takes you.
Arrive at 1:30 PM to settle in, grab your welcome beverage and get comfortable. At 2:00 PM, the event begins with eight rounds of 7-minute conversations, enough time to get beyond the small talk without the conversation becoming an interview.
After the rounds, we'll take a short intermission while your host determines the group's mutual matches. Then comes the match reveal, followed by bowling, all at The Banquet!
What's Included
• 8 rounds of 7-minute speed dating
• Bowling
• Bowling shoes
• One welcome beverage of your choice: mocktail, bottled beer, 16 oz domestic draft, 1 oz cocktail on tap, 6 oz house wine, 1 oz house highball, Caesar or Tall Boy.
