- Secure your spot at the event before we sell out!
- Check your confirmation email for a link to set up your Connecting Charlotte account. (Don't worry - this is not another dating app, just matchmaking tech so you can see compatibility scores and send "likes" to new friends - it's pretty cool!).
- Show up, grab a free drink on us, socialize, play games, enjoy the event, and make some new connections. Your host will send you your mutual matches shortly after the event to continue the conversations with your new friends (or crushes!).
We hope to meet you there!
