Talktime is a virtual meetup where you can connect with new people, locally and globally. There’s no set agenda – just a place to hang out and chat about topics, hobbies, and interests. Think of it like the best parts of meeting someone by chance, but without the awkwardness.

All Access Pass – Your ticket gives you full access to our virtual platform.
Seating – Sit at any table or join any of the 1,000 rooms available.
Matchmaking – You’ll meet at least two new people during each meetup.

We’re Talktime. Since 2019, we’ve hosted over 1,000 events across the U.S. and internationally. In the last six months alone, we’ve sold over 174,000 tickets.

Like many others, our business shifted during the pandemic, but we quickly realized something – people wanted to meet others, even if it meant virtually. Many of our attendees work from home, have moved to new cities, or just miss the simple joy of talking to someone new.

That’s why we created Meet New People Every Wednesday – a space to connect without pressure. It’s the byproduct of everything we’ve learned over the years, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.

Making friends as an adult isn’t easy. You might go to events where everyone already knows each other, and breaking into conversations feels awkward. Even when you meet someone new, the connection doesn’t always last.

At Talktime, everyone shows up with the same goal – to meet someone new. There’s no need to exchange numbers or set plans. Just show up, hang out, and let connections form naturally over time.

Since we meet every week, you can run into familiar faces or meet an entirely new group of Talktimers. It’s low-pressure, simple, and fun.

You’re guaranteed to meet at least two new people each time. Our attendees are a mix – professionals, creatives, gamers, hobbyists, and more. Some have just moved to new cities, while others are looking to connect with people outside their usual circles.

What makes Talktime different is that everyone is here to meet someone new. No cliques. No small talk circles that are hard to break into.

This event is online only.

Everyone joins at the same time. You can:

• Join a table for small group discussions.
• Enter the matchmaking room for a 1-on-1 chat.
• Explore different rooms and drop into ongoing conversations.

There’s no agenda – you’re free to roam, join conversations, and meet people at your own pace.

Use the booking calendar (above) to choose your date and time. Seats fill quickly, so reserve yours early.

Talktime is open to adults 18 and older.

We found that weekends are packed with other commitments. Wednesday offers a midweek break – something to look forward to before the weekend rush.

8 PM EST every Wednesday.

Officially, from 8 PM to 9 PM EST – but many Talktimers stay longer, sometimes chatting until 2 AM. We won’t shut things down if people are still talking, so feel free to stay as long as you like.

A stable internet connection is necessary. You can join from a desktop, laptop, iPad, or phone – but for the best experience, we recommend using a webcam and microphone.

We strive to make all our meetups accessible.
