We took over a room GLUGxCANNT Summer Party at Cargo Shoreditch on Thursday 22nd of June and it was awesome!

The key was structuring the night into 4 time sessions from 5:30/6:30/7:30/8:30.

Everyone on entry was given a random colorful card with a time slot on it to rendezvous at our table set up in the south room.

Upon the first group of 5:30 people arriving and collecting their free beer everyone was a bit confused to what was going on.

We explained the concept of getting people away from their comfort zone to talk to new people instead of wondering who to talk too.

How we did it

We gave their night something simple that added so much value, a time, place to meet and even a ice breaker that kicked off the conversations – Everyone loved it.

Every 20 minutes we would shuffle the groups seating around to get them talking with new people. The idea forced people to meet others around the table instead of sitting on possible stale conversations.

It was great! We even had individuals from 5:30 wanting to sit in on other groups times.

At about 15 minutes until the next session we would kick everyone out, clean up a bit, set up more beers ready for the next group to arrive.

A highlight for me was that we were responsible for the connections made between those individuals that may not have met otherwise.

The amazing synergies between our Creative Social Meetup Table and our App are spot on!

We are focuses to allow people to meet offline and face-to-face without tedious messages or time wasting. That’s how it should be all the time!

The night was such a success we will be collectively looking at new social nights to popup into.

Special thanks to GLUG London, Cargo Shoreditch and all the awesome sponsors of the night!
