Upcoming Events

Say goodbye to the days of racking your brain for pickup lines and icebreakers to strike up conversations. Speed Mingle presents an exceptional opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals for networking, friendship, socializing, or even a traditional date.

How It Works

The format of a speed-mingling event determines how it operates. You have the most control over the process. Once you connect with someone you’re interested in, you can continue chatting through the web app. When a participant feels comfortable, they can share their personal information through the web app, giving all participants control over their privacy. In traditional speed dating concepts, the host matches participants and shares their information with those they’ve expressed interest in 24-48 hours later. With our app, there’s no need to wait. You can choose to share your name, email, or phone number only when you’re ready. This ensures privacy and anonymity for all participants.

If you’re tired of the monotonous singles scene or are a busy business professional, “The 4 Minute Date” is the ideal event for you. Taking place in a relaxed atmosphere, this speed dating event allows you to meet a large group of like-minded singles.

During the evening, you’ll engage in up to 25 one-on-one “dates,” each lasting a concise 4 minutes. This face-to-face interaction provides a quick opportunity to assess mutual interest. If both parties express interest in connecting further, you can click “connect” on the web app to start chatting immediately.

Why Choose
Speed Mingle

Navigating the dating landscape in the 21st century can be challenging, prompting many individuals to seek love online. According to U.S. Census data, over 127 million single people aged 18 and above reside in America, representing nearly 40% of the country’s population. Despite this significant number, many feel isolated in their search for a meaningful romantic connection, friendship, or just a business connection.

In the wake of COVID-19 shutdowns, forming meaningful connections for friendship, dating, or business purposes has become increasingly challenging, even in bustling metropolitan areas. While mobile apps might seem like a solution, the reality is that many people of interest may not be paid members, or worse, could be fake profiles designed to phish for personal information and scam users.

At Speed Mingle, we understand this dilemma all too well. Since our inaugural event in March 2002, we have dedicated ourselves to finding solutions that help people connect more effectively. The key, we’ve found, is not to rely solely on online platforms but to facilitate in-person interactions.

Our extensive research and experience have led us to the conclusion that the best way to find that “Hot Date” or “Perfect Match” is through face-to-face encounters. Virtual connections, while convenient, simply can’t replace the genuine human connection and chemistry that develops when two people meet in person.

Speed Mingle events offer an alternative to spending countless hours on various websites trying to meet people online. Instead, these events provide an opportunity to meet multiple individuals with similar interests simultaneously. To facilitate this, we’ve developed an engaging concept that encourages participants to step away from their computers and engage in face-to-face communication. One of the most significant benefits of attending a Speed Mingle event is that all participants are genuinely interested in meeting and getting to know one another.
