Let's celebrate the return of warm days together!
Do you wish for more genuine human connection this summer? Let's make it happen! π
π¦ WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
ββF*ck the Small Talk is an out-of-the-box social experience where strangers come together for an evening of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. Itβs also just a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
ββJoin us for games, talks, and connections with friends you havenβt met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you have been in Brussels every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life then this is the place for you. π
π HOW DOES IT WORK?
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people).
We'll have our awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. (Youβll never have to speak in public if you donβt want) You'll be guided by an experienced host who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. π (introverts, you'll love it too β€οΈ)
βπ§§ WHAT'S INCLUDED?
β° 3 hours of facilitated and curated activitiesπ₯ A space to meet new people in the least boring way possibleπ Light snacks to keep the energy going (only if outside)ππ½ Access to the post-event WhatsApp groupπ Supporting our mission to slowly eliminate small talk around the worldπ« Also includes those pesky ticket fees!
πΉ HOW TO JOIN?
Our events are limited to 30 guests to ensure a cozy atmosphere (more than that is a party!) We do our best to curate events with similar ages and a healthy gender balance! Request to join above and we'll give you an answer in less than 48 hours! Our events tend to sell out (for real, they always do) so if you didn't get in make sure to try again next time!PS. You won't get charged until we accept your ticket! ποΈ
π WHERE IS IT?
We host our events in awesome bars & parks across the city. The exact location will be revealed once we confirm your spot! ποΈ Check out the neighborhood at the bottom of this page. (you'll see a map)
π WHAT THEY SAY
βπ£ βThis is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.β - Sonya
βπ£ βI loved F*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!β - Brenda
βπ£ βLively, interesting, introspective, completely open and no judgment. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! β - Yaz
π£ "itβs a wonderful experience, itβs like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe youβll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

π MEET YOUR HOST
Hey you! I'm Abbygaelle, I moved back to Belgium in 2024 after being nomadic for 7 years (somehow!?). During my travels, I started hosting unconventional get-togethers as a way to challenge myself (cause I'm often awkward π½ actually) and to help me make connections on the go. Now I'm super excited to bring some of that magic to my home country!
π€ QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE
β£ Can I come alone?Of course, in fact, we encourage it! 99% of people do.
β£ Can I be late?Please don't. We start 15 min after the official start. Late arrivals tend to disrupt the flow of the event.
β£ Is this a dating or networking event?Not at all! No business cards, no awkward 1-minute speed rounds (ok maybe one) βjust real, meaningful conversations with some friends you haven't met yet. (this doesn't mean crushes or business relationships can't happen, it's just not the intention π)β£ Can I get a refund if I can't make it?Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds or ticket transfers to another event date if you cannot attend with a notice of less than 5 days notice. However, feel free to pass on your ticket to a friend, provided they also sign up on Luma :)
