Skipping the small talk

How often do we wish we could skip the small talk and dive right into the real conversations – the ones about what defines us, what moves us, who we truly are?
In doing so, we often discover that we have more in common with someone than we first thought – and that even in our differences, we can feel deeply connected.

With targeted conversation prompts and creative methods, we make it easier to explore personal topics. The goal is to open doors – and create the feeling of truly getting to know someone in a short amount of time.

This evening is all about:

• Connecting on an equal footing – beyond clichés

• Discovering common ground, without the pressure to "match"

• Giving space to differences, without division

• Creating connections that go deeper than just a nice chat

A €15 food & drink voucher is included in your ticket. You can use it to purchase anything on-site during the event. Please note: it's valid only on the day of the event.

The focus is on getting to know each other in small groups.
Instead of traditional one-on-one rounds, conversations unfold naturally in group settings – open, relaxed, and without pressure.

The outdoor venue Gemma Market brings an urban vibe under the open sky. However, weather sometimes has its own plans – so there may be short-notice cancellations in case of bad weather.

How the evening works:

• Arrival & Registration
  We warmly welcome you. The first 30 minutes are for arriving and settling in – no rush. You'll receive your welcome kit and can grab your first drink.

• Guided Welcome & Getting to Know Each Other
  Once everyone’s there, we’ll kick things off. Our hosts will guide you step by step through the evening. You’ll get the chance to meet all the attending singles of the opposite gender – in a respectful and open setting.

• Real Talk – The main part
  With the help of our conversation prompts, you’ll dive into deeper topics. It’s not about right or wrong – but about authenticity and resonance.

• Short Break at Half Time
  Halfway through the program, we’ll take a short break – time to breathe, chat, or just enjoy a quiet moment.

• Wrap-Up & Matching
  At the end, you’ll fill out your matching sheet and indicate who you’d like to see again. If there's mutual interest, we’ll send you your matches within 48 hours.

• Unwind & Open End
  After the official part, the space remains open for anyone who wants to wind down the evening with a drink in good company.
