Social networking events
These events are less formal and focused on building genuine connections through shared experiences or common interests.

• Meetups: Informal, local gatherings based on specific hobbies or
  professional interests. Platforms like Meetup.com host a wide
  variety of these groups.
• Skill-building workshops: Events centered around a specific
  activity, such as a cooking class, pottery class, or a hands-on tech
  workshop. The shared activity provides a natural way to connect
  with others.
• Themed parties and game nights: Casual, playful settings that use
  games, trivia, or other icebreakers to encourage interaction and
  lower barriers.
• Volunteer events: Organized community service projects that allow
  participants to bond over a shared, meaningful cause.
