What is a 'speed meet' activity?

A 'speed meet' activity is a short activity undertaken to meet new people, ask a few questions and maybe make a new friend. You will sit down at a small table with one other person and ask them some questions. Then they get to ask you questions as well. There will be a timer set for a few minutes and after this time, an alarm will sound, and then you get to do the activity with another person. If you want, your support person can be with you during the activity too! It's entirely up to you.

Everyone will ask the same 3 questions and you can also ask a couple of your own questions if you want to.

Interested but nervous to attend? The questions will be provided to you once you have registered. This will allow you time to practice your answers before attending.
