About the event
Open Coffee Lisbon is back, and this month we're gathering at ForkLore! These videos show the two routes from the street level to the venue. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hpPwrXcwNpU https://www.youtube.com/shorts/l18Q649nl7Q
Join us on September 29th for Lisbon's friendliest informal networking event. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a freelancer, a student, an expat, or simply someone who loves meeting interesting people, this is your chance to connect with the city's startup and business community. What is Open Coffee? It's an "un-meeting" — no speaker, no agenda, no formalities. Just people who want to help each other. Here's how it works: · We meet at 9:30 sharp · Everyone gets 1-2 minutes to share: · Who they are and what they're working on · What they need (a co-founder, a client, feedback, a mentor...) · How they can help others · After about an hour, the hosting stops and you're free to talk with the people who interest you most Why come? You might find a mentor, an investor, a client, a co-founder, an employer, or a new friend. You might just find the inspiration you've been looking for. Everyone is welcome — and we especially love first-timers. The details: · When: September 29th, 9:30 AM · Where: ForkLore · Cost: a minimum of 1 consumption at the bar. More than just coffee — join the ForkLore community Open Coffee is just one of the ways ForkLore brings people together. Throughout the week, we also host: · Acoustic Jam Session — every Monday 19h30 · Language Exchange — every Wednesday 19h30 · Board & Card Games — every Sunday 19h Come as you are. Listen if you're shy, speak if you're ready. Either way, you'll be glad to meet you.
We start at 09:30 AM sharp. Everybody gets up to 2 minutes to present:
1. Who they are and what they are doing 2. What they want 3. How they can help others
At 10:30 AM we stop hosting and you can talk to people who are most interesting to you.
