How It Works

1

A mate builds the pitch

They put together a short slide deck about why their single mate is a catch. Humour encouraged.

2

The pitch goes on stage

Mates take the mic in The Greenwood's Lounge Bar, pitching their friends to a room full of people. Leather booths, private bar, big-screen AV.

3

Everyone mingles

Half the room came along just to watch, drink and mingle — that's where most connections happen. Grab a Mingle Ticket if that's you. No swiping. Just walk up and say "Hi, I liked your pitch."
