November Speed Friending

Looking to meet new people in a fun, easy, and natural way? Join us for November Speed Friending — a dynamic social event designed to help you connect without awkward moments.

The structured format keeps things fresh and flowing — no need to worry about how to politely move on to the next conversation! How it works: Small group and pair rotations to keep conversations dynamic Guided prompts and icebreakers to spark meaningful chats A final open mingling round, where you can reconnect with the people you clicked with most A contact board/connection corner where you can share your social media or details to stay in touch The atmosphere: Relaxed, friendly, and welcoming Tea, coffee, and light snacks provided Open to both internationals and locals Whether you're new to Helsinki or simply looking to expand your circle, this is a low-pressure and enjoyable way to build new connections. Come as you are — leave with new conversations, new contacts, and maybe even new friends Free to Attend – Everyone’s Welcome! The IHH Friend Program activities are supported by the City of Helsinki.
