EVENT DETAILS

This event is for anyone who's ever thought I should really get more involved — and just hasn't found the right way in yet.

ALL are welcome.

It is free to attend!

No just show up!

If you regularly bring people together — you're who we're looking for.

We welcome applications from community groups, clubs, hobby collectives, local businesses, wellness practitioners, creators, and anyone else who hosts gatherings where people can find their people.

Our one requirement: your space is genuinely welcoming. We're building an event where everyone feels like they belong, so we ask that all vendors share that value.

Identity-specific groups are welcome — men's groups, women's groups, cultural communities, and affinity spaces all have a place here. We just ask that you're upfront about who your gatherings are designed for, so attendees can find the right fit for them.

If you gather people with intention and heart, apply. We'd love to have you.

Friends of Friends has been bringing people in and around Guelph, together since our first Speed Friending event — because we believe the right room, the right format, and a little intention can change who you know and how you feel in your city. The Connection Expo is our next step!

The market is wheelchair accessible from the parking lot side.

Gender neutral bathrooms inside.
