Dating events have come a long way since that one couple that are friends with your parents met at speed dating. They say all things get better with time, and this year is the official start of the singles event renaissance.

Which brings us to the singles event happening in Sydney this month that you don’t want to miss. Barangaroo house (you know, that insanely cool looking building you’ve always meant to get round to trying out) is opening its doors to singles from The Inner Circle for some quiet after work drinks that promises to not stay quiet for long. There’ll be drinks, ice breaking entertainment, and most importantly snacks (of every kind 😉).

The Inner Circle events are because of the unique online-to-offline focus, where each feature has been specifically built to get you off your phone and meeting in real life as soon as possible. The first step is it's screening process, where a team of people check each profile to make sure they're a real person and genuinely looking to date before they're visible on the rest of the platform. This is then mixed with features like "Spots" (which shows the best places to go for a date in your city) and "Who's Up For" (which lets you post status style updates to catch other singles attention), and most importantly with industry leading events.

Events run every month in cities globally, from rooftops to the kind of bars you’ve always wanted to go but never knew how to find. You can score yourself tickets to this one (and take one step closer to actually meeting someone IRL) by doing the following:

1) Register for The Inner Circle here

2) Grab a ticket from within the app (while you can!)

3) Show up, and prepare to be swept off your feet
