About The Event

Most people will tell you that they hate small talk. Yet there are plenty of times when no other type of talk will do. Whether you're out for a job interview dinner, on a first date, or at a party where you don't know anybody, the first mode of communication we use when we're first getting to know people is small talk. With practice, it can even be enjoyable.

Join us for a fun and festive evening Friday, February 7th as we practice some go-to strategies for starting conversations with strangers and engaging people in dialogue, whatever situation you find yourself in. Over a delicious dinner prepared by Dr. Kevin Stuart, we'll talk small and laugh large. RSVP today!
