✨ The Interactive Social - Move, Talk & Connect!

Many of you have attended my **Art & Chill** and **Game Night** events - now it's time to try something a little different! I have designed a fun, interactive social experience to bring people together in a different way! The **Interactive Social** will go beyond the usual introductions and small talk. It's an opportunity to move around, get involved, share ideas, spark conversations, and discover the people behind the introductions. Through a variety of engaging activities, you'll have the chance to express yourself, learn more about others, and uncover unexpected common interests. Whether you're a regular or joining us for the first time, come with an open mind, a willingness to participate, and a sense of curiosity. You never know who you'll meet or what you might have in common! ✨ **Come ready to move, talk, laugh, discover and connect in a different way!** **Where to Meet (Across from Shoppers at the Food Hall inside The Well):** * The easiest way to get to the venue is to make your way to La Plume restaurant or The Dorset restaurant and turn towards the statue then take the stairs to the lower level. * Shoppers will be on the right and across from Shoppers will be an entrance to The Well's food court. * Make a left and you should see the long tables. **We'll meet at the long tables across from Shoppers**
