The Lost Art of Meeting Strangers
We designed the room so the first conversation is never the hardest part.
Meeting a stranger well is a skill. Like any skill, it atrophies without practice.
Our rooms are built with that in mind. There is always something to do with your hands. There is always something to look at together. Hosts introduce people. Nobody has to open with a pitch about who they are.
The goal is not networking. The goal is presence.
