Come for the events, stay for the people
About us
We're Ana and Marco. We moved to Switzerland and quickly realised that living here without our friends wasn't going to be easy…
So we created a project that lets us — and you — make friends in Switzerland!!!
swiss meetup :)
Dinners, workshops, outings, trips — events for people who just arrived (or not so recently) and want to find their people.
Upcoming events
The sky's the limit — pottery workshops, sushi, make-up, pilates, yoga, photo shoots, brunch, themed dinners, trips…
How it works
Pick the event
Look at the upcoming events here on the site and pick the one that suits you. Make sure you're free and that the activity feels like you.
Fill in the registration
Answer everything with care — it's the only way we get to know you before the event. Check that your contact details are correct!
Wait for our reply
You'll get a message or email with feedback within 2 to 3 weeks. Not everyone hears on the same day, but nobody is left without an answer 😊
Follow the instructions
As soon as you get the confirmation email, follow the instructions to the letter. After that, you're confirmed!
Make the most of it!!!
On the day, show up ready to meet new people. Come for the events… stay for the people 🤍
