You will not be tossed into awkward breakout rooms hoping the right person appears.
A relationship lab.
Interactive, experiential, practical, and fun. Themed rooms, people doing the thing, a better way to build real relationship momentum.
People Party Palooza is part festival, part relationship lab, part live learning experience.

People Party Palooza grew out of Stacey Lauren's 5-year relationship experiment, hundreds of interviews, her TEDx talk, and the lessons she learned after building a staffing company to $35 million before exiting.
“The fastest way to meet the right people is to gather around shared goals.”
Pick the rooms that match your goals.
