A family-friendly experience
Pitch-A-Pal — The Oodi Edition
Interesting people pitching friends for friendship, conversation, chemistry, and social expansion. This is a small salon for socially curious adults who miss good introductions and interesting rooms. As this takes place at Oodi, children are welcome; they can pop in and out the reserved room, as they like. Participants will briefly present (“pitch”) a friend they think more people should know — whether as a potential friend, collaborator, conversation partner, creative co-conspirator, or simply a delightful human. Additionally, participants can optionally pitch for a new friend -- sharing what they're looking for and what they'd bring to that connection. Expect short presentations, informal conversation, light structure, smart people, and a relaxed but socially alive atmosphere. No networking. No speed dating. No performative LinkedIn energy. Just interesting people coming recommended. This experience is free to attend, but tips are welcome to help cover the cost of snacks. Light brunch options provided (more food and beverages are available for purchase on-site).

Decks in the room
There are multiple ways to participate — pitch someone you admire, share your own Future Friend deck, or both. No likes, no swipes, no judgement, no rankings — just resonance.
My decks
People you've nominated & decks about you.
Bring someone to the room. You can start and edit a deck any time — even before you've requested a seat. Your nominee approves it before it appears on the night, and only decks from approved, paid (or comp) participants make it into the live presentation.
Sign in to start a deck for this experience — you can draft it before requesting your seat.
