Dating Is Hard. We want to make it easier. At this event, we'll match you with the most compatible people in the venue.
About this Event

Sunshine, pages turning, and a crowd full of fellow book lovers. If you’ve ever wanted your love story to start at a bookstore, this is pretty close.

Join us at the L.A. Times Festival of Books for a one-of-a-kind speed dating experience, co-hosted with RYZE at their pop-up truck beside a fountain in the heart of one of LA’s most charming, book-filled days.

Each guest will enjoy a complimentary RYZE latte, crafted for calm, focused energy with no jitters or crash, so you can stay present through every conversation.

More than speed dating, this experience is designed to help you meet your best matches. People you’re actually likely to click with.
