Whether you're hoping to make new friends, expand your social circle, or simply enjoy meeting interesting people, this is an easy and welcoming way to break the ice. After the speed friending rounds, the evening continues with music, social games, drinks, dancing, and plenty of time to reconnect with the people you met earlier.
