Speed-Connecting

In just two and a half hours, you’ll get to know (up to) 48 other Mensa members — not just by name, but through real conversation.

The concept is simple and effective: Participants are split into small groups of seven. In each round, every person gets one minute to introduce themselves, followed by one minute of focused questions from the rest of the group. Then it’s on to the next. After each round, groups are shuffled so that by the end of the event, everyone has spoken with everyone else.

It’s a fast-paced format designed to maximize connection: brief, personal exchanges that add up to a broad and diverse impression of the people around you.

Whether you’re new to Mensa or a longtime member, this is a rare chance to meet a wide range of brilliant minds — and what you make of those connections is entirely up to you.
