Dating Games: A Fun Twist on Speed Dating

For tickets and information: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989755383916](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989755383916) **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/1989755383916](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989755383916)

SDNNYC: The Work Beneath the Work

**Wednesday, June 10th, 6:00-8:00 PM EDT** **Presentation** The Work Beneath the Work: On the enabling, connecting, and sense-making layer of service design **Event Description** There's a layer of design work that exists inside almost every organization, but rarely has a name. It's not design ops. It's not strategy, at least not in the way those disciplines are usually understood. It shows up in the conversations that shift how teams think, the workshops that don't produce a clean output but somehow move things forward, and the quiet act of connecting people who should have been talking months ago. This talk is about that work. Through examples and honest reflection on what it costs to do it: politically, emotionally, and organizationally, we'll explore how service designers often find themselves doing organizational change work without realizing it. And why naming that matters, both for the work itself and for the people doing it. The second half of the session is a conversation. We'll use the room's collective experience to sit with a simple question: What do you call the work that would fix that gap? **About Our Speaker** **Dhea Sekararum** Dhea Sekararum is a Service Designer and Design Strategist at Verizon, where she works inside a large design organization helping teams build the conditions for more coherent, customer-centered work. Her path into design began in clinical psychology and behavioral science, a lens she still brings to her thinking about organizations, people, and the gaps between them. She holds an MFA in Transdisciplinary Design from Parsons and has spent over 10 years working across UX research, digital product design, service design, and strategy in tech, travel, healthcare, logistics, and education in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the US. She's drawn to the work that makes other work possible: the sense-making, the bridging, the slow organizational change that rarely gets a job title. **Agenda** * 6:00-6:30PM Meet & mingle over food and drink * 6:30-7:30PM Presentation & Demo * 7:30-8:00PM Discussion & Networking * 8:00PM - ? After-Party **Address** Intuit 51 Astor Place New York, NY 10003 **After-Party**: Cuna Bar The Standard 25 Cooper Sq **Financial Transparency & Scholarships** As a non-profit, we do our best to strike a balance between making our events available to all and ensuring we keep the lights on. For this event, we are charging $10. * If this amount is prohibitive for you to attend this event, please message [Barry](https://www.meetup.com/sdnnyc/members/267573171/) on Meetup and we’ll provide you a scholarship to this event. You can also email us at sdn.newyorkchapter@gmail.com as we may miss messages on this platform. * If you’d like to provide scholarships, please message [Barry](https://www.meetup.com/sdnnyc/members/267573171/) on Meetup and he will follow up with you. See you there :) David, Francesco, Yasmin, Cameron, Lynn, Nicholas, & Barry
