    Is this really something for me?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    The short answer: yes, definitely! Lunch & Link is here for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    But\u2026 There is no but, here is just some more context below to put you at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Almost everyone finds it exciting to meet new people. Let alone doing so on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    People of all shapes and sizes join us for lunch. What the participants have in common is the following: they are all eager to meet \u2018the other\u2019 (in other words: you!).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    The organiser prepares the table thoroughly and will make sure you feel comfortable. If you like, he\/she can let you know in advance how the table is set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Are you still nervous and would you like to join? Then sign up with a friend and state this clearly on your registration form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Any further questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n\n\n\n

    I want to join next week! Why is it taking a while for me to be invited?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Lunch & Link is organised by a variety of people who host the table(s) in their spare time. In addition, the organisers host a table that suits their idea. For example, a women-only table might be planned or a table with young adults might be chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Uhh, and what about those bubbles?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    These are still being broken, promise! However that may be, there will be people from two big bubbles at the table, bubbles within which there are incredibly different people and smaller bubbles. In addition, we believe in the power of doing what suits you. Organisers themselves know which idea suits them best and will therefore lead to the most fun, beautiful and sociable table!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    I don’t feel like doing that questionnaire at all!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Actually, this is not a question. But, we will try to ease your feelings a little. With the questionnaire, we hope to get to know you a bit. In that way, we can make sure you end up at a table that suits you best. We will only share your answers with the organiser we are considering to host a table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    What are the costs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Joining is free for all participants. The reason is that Lunch & Link assumes the equality of participants. This does not mean that we ignore differences. It does mean that we choose not to charge any of the participants for participating. To pay for each edition, the organisers are raising sponsorship. Do you have a sugar daddy, shares you just sold well or just really good sponsorship ideas? Then check out the Sponsor page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
