ποΈ Sign up here: https://lu.ma/ftstvictoria ποΈ*we're in Victoria for a pop-up event! If youβd love to bring this event series to the city and host regular gatherings, reach outβweβd love to chat! π*
F*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, Melbourne, London, Lisbon, to Mexico City, and is now coming to Victoria for the first time ever! π¨π¦
π¦ 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. Itβs 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 games, talks, and connections with friends you havenβt met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long have been in Victoria every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life then this is the place for you. π
π HOW DOES IT WORK?
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. Don't worry, nothing too awkward! After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have our epic question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. Youβll never have to speak in public if you donβt want to.
πΉ HOW TO JOIN?
Take 1 minute to sign up ππΌ

π MEET YOUR HOST
βJen is a digital nomad whoβs been wandering the world since 2018, seeking out the best food, new experiences, and bringing people together.
For years, she hosted a podcast where she interviewed the most interesting people she met on her travels, with the slogan "the opposite of small talk." Now, sheβs bringing that same passion for authentic connection to FTST, facilitating events that are equal parts fun and meaningful, wherever her journey takes her.
π WHAT THEY SAY
π£ βGreat way to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!β - Matthias
π£ βThis is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.β - Sonya
π£ βF*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.β - Monika
π£ βI 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!β - Brenda
π£ "itβs a wonderful experience, itβs 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 youβll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara
π£ βLively, 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 - Yaz

π€ FAQ
β’ Can I come alone?
Of course, in fact, we encourage it!
β’ Can I be late?
Please don't! We start 15min after the start of the event :)
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 30ish people. We 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 π
β’ Why do you charge?
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. β₯οΈ 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 canβt afford it simply get in touch with us :)
β’ I'm digging this! Can I get involved somehow?
Sure thing, send us a message!
β’ Can I bring my cute dog/llama?
It depends on where the event is! Message us to make sure. But it's always a YES in our hearts.
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 for the form :)
