About Event

​What is Anti-Networking?

​At Strangers Meeting Strangers (SMS), we believe real connections happen when we strip away the formalities. Anti-Networking is our newest concept—a social gathering designed to create genuine, human connections without the pressures of traditional networking.

​This isn’t about exchanging business cards or giving your elevator pitch. It’s a social party.

​A chance to be present, have real conversations, and get to know people as they are—no facades, no agendas. Just a room full of good vibes, great music, and authentic moments.


​Event Highlights:

  • ​The Giant Podium: Every 25 minutes, one lucky guest will step up and share their thoughts with the room, creating a shared experience that brings everyone together.

  • ​Phone-Free Zone: We encourage being fully present, so phones will be tucked away to let the night flow naturally.

  • ​Mini-Film Screenings: Tucked into a cozy corner, enjoy short films throughout the evening, curated by Sabrina Ford.

  • ​DJs Kwey and Awa: Local favorites spinning tracks to keep the night fresh and easy.

  • ​Appetizers & Mocktails: Enjoy appetizers sponsored by Pimentos Jamaican Kitchen including mocktails provided by Vibez Mocktails (they are delicious!)


​Why Attend?

​This is your chance to step away from the noise and reconnect with the human side of social gatherings. Whether you’re a professional, creative, or just someone who enjoys meaningful conversations, SMS is the place to unwind and connect—no business cards, no small talk, just real people and good times.

18+ only. Limited tickets available.
