Your elevated speed dating experience is here: curated matches and a community of intentional daters.
About this Event

Speed dating is great. 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.


What does compatibility look like? 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, March 5th 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're charging a small ticket price for Speed Matching to encourage maximum attendance. The more people show up, the better everyone's experience can be!
