Find your creative soulmate or a new friend at this welcoming Melbourne Conversations workshop!
Whether you’re new to Melbourne or have been here a while, this session will be a great opportunity to meet new people and have friendly and fun conversations.
Hosted by creative all-rounders Ladies of Leisure in the Conversation Quarter (entry via Swanston Street Welcome Zone), this session is similar to speed dating, where you’ll have a series of short one-on-one conversations, rotating when you hear the bell ring.
Throughout the event, special guests will provide conversation starters, where you will learn more about Melbourne and its vibrant culture and share your experiences on food, fashion and adjusting to change.
Free snacks and refreshments by Mabu Mabu will be available to keep you fuelled throughout the event.
Presented by City of Melbourne’s ‘Melbourne Conversations’ series in partnership with State Library Victoria and Meld Community.
