Dating Games: A Fun Twist on Speed Dating

From Entertainment Industry
4.0

For tickets and information: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1995389302117](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1995389302117) **IMPORTANT NOTE: CLICKING THE RSVP AND PAY ORGANIZER BUTTON ON MEETUP DOES NOT GET YOU A TICKET/ SPOT. YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE LINK TO THE EVENTBRITE PAGE AND PURCHASE A TICKET THERE. PRICE GOES UP AS EVENT TIME APPROACHES AND MAY SELL OUT SO GET YOUR TICKET ON EVENTBRITE ASAP.** **\*This is a multigroup event so event responses are only a portion of the total number of attendees** NYC Speed Dating - Dating Games Is your dating life starting to feel monotonous? Do your dates resemble job interviews more than actual chemistry? Sick of dedicating your entire evening to getting to know just one person? Then check out **“Dating Games” Speed Dating!** It’s a lively, modern twist on the classic format. Join us for a one-of-a-kind social experience for NYC singles! Meet new people, win raffle prizes, and connect with other fun, like-minded singles. It’s not only a great way to meet a potential partner—it’s also perfect for finding new friends or even future wingmen/wingwomen. **Suggested age range: 20s, 30s & 40s.** Our warm, welcoming host will get things started before dividing everyone into small groups at various tables. You’ll chat, mingle, and play lighthearted social games with groups of about 4–5 singles. The games are easy, super fun, and designed to help everyone open up and connect. After each round, you’ll rotate tables—just like traditional speed dating—so you'll eventually meet all the singles attending. You’ll also receive a “match sheet,” where you can mark anyone you’d like to speak with again. If they choose you as well, the host will email you each other’s contact information within roughly 24 hours so you can plan a date. Let’s be honest—we’re all tired of endless swiping on apps and meeting people who may not be anything like their profiles. A “Dating Games” Speed Dating night is a far better way to connect because you meet real people *in person* and get a genuine sense of who they are. This is an entirely new, innovative take on speed dating! We appreciate the idea behind traditional speed dating, but it can be tough to keep conversations flowing. That’s why at “Dating Games” events, you’ll have entertaining, easy-to-play games to help break the ice and avoid the typical interview-style awkwardness. We find this format helps people connect more naturally and meaningfully. ### WIN PRIZES! You’ll enjoy an evening full of fresh faces, interactive games, and social fun—no special skills needed, just a little luck! Our friendly host will guide the whole experience and help everyone get acquainted. Throughout the night you’ll play multiple games while getting opportunities to interact with all the singles of the opposite sex. When you win a game, you earn a raffle ticket—giving you chances to win prizes! ### IMPORTANT: THIS IS A PRE-PAY EVENT ONLY Tickets **must** be purchased online in advance—registration at the venue will *not* be available. As the event nears and space becomes limited, the price will increase to $35. *See more upcoming NYC events at [WWW.FRIENDZYEVENTS.COM](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dating-games-a-fun-twist-on-speed-dating-in-nyc-tickets-1982239058384?aff=oddtdtcreator)* For tickets and information: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1995389302117](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1995389302117)

From technology.ai
4.6

Meeting Link: [Technology.ai Session : The Career Reset: Surviving and Thriving in the AI Economy | Meeting-Join | Microsoft Teams](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/221840705946574?p=SOyAuqJBSXJtjN4j9B) Artificial intelligence is not just changing jobs — it is changing what it means to have a job. This session explores how AI agents, automation, and software platforms are transforming corporate work, professional careers, and entrepreneurship. Students will learn which skills are becoming obsolete, which are becoming valuable, and how roles are shifting from doing work to directing and supervising intelligent systems. The talk also introduces the emerging “one-person company,” new labor models, and how future workers may build businesses instead of applying for jobs. Attendees will leave with practical guidance on what to study, what to practice, and how to prepare for a career in the AI economy. In short, what do do when: \- Your Future Boss Might Be an Algorithm \- Your Future Lawyer Might Be an Algorithm \- Your Future Doctor Might Be an Algorithm \- Your Future Teacher Might Be an Algorithm

**Please [click here](https://bk271.infusionsoft.app/app/form/nymmensworkomg) or copy/paste this link into your browser to register if you have not attended our Open Men's Group before:** https://bk271.infusionsoft.app/app/form/nymmensworkomg We will send the exact address once you're approved to join us. **Get Ready to Evolve** **We build brotherhood.** A ‘regular guy’ can step into this space and feel empowered to tell the **unvarnished truth** about his life. **We’re not here to put on a show for each other.** We’re not here to set ourselves up in opposition to a perceived ‘other’ in the world. We’re not here for salvation. **We’re here to cut through the bullshit**. We’re here to step through the fear of showing up authentically, powerfully, and vulnerably, warts and all, in our lives. We’re here to find and explore our purpose. * **If you are a change agent, a man working with others for the good of society** – the skills you can learn here are essential to your efforts to create sustainable solutions in the world. * **If you struggle with commitment,** with discipline, with emotional honesty, with feelings of powerlessness or inadequacy, with anger, frustration, depression – this is a kind of bonding that will help you break old patterns and find YOUR PLACE in a community. * **If you are outwardly successful** and looking to become more integrated with other parts of your life – this is a place to come and explore, refine and express yourself, even the parts that may be hiding out in the shadows. * **If you have never felt safe or at ease in a group of men** – this is a place to figure out why and to change that. Your success depends on your efforts. * Without moving beyond ‘connection by cause’ and into ‘bonded commitment’, efforts to create and sustain community will fail **… over and over and over**. Movements fail not because of the lack of good ideas or even good organization, but because of the lack of mature bonding – the kind of connection that allows groups to overcome personal and psychological blocks and resolve interpersonal conflicts in a way that is **energizing rather than draining** to their efforts.
