Are you new to the Bay Area? Planning on attending the Crawls tonight alone? Or just looking to meet new people and see a friendly face in the crowd of participants tonight? Let’s go together!
We will have group leaders posted at the entrance of a few of our Crawls tonight. They’ll take you under their wing, introduce you to other attendees, and kick off the crawl with you together.
This event is produced by DesignBayArea, the org behind San Francisco Design Week! Make sure you download our App and post photos to win a Limited Edition tee!
- Arrive by 5pm, meet them outside of their designated “Starting Point” (the first studio they will be attending during the crawl). Look for the volunteer listed below.
- Introduce yourself to the group leader and the other participants and participate in a quick 5 minute ice breaker.
- Check-in for the Studio Crawl at GDP: All attendees must have a OnePass and be registered for Studio Crawls Night One
- It’s time to mingle!
- Your group leader (aka: New Design Friend) will be moving on to additional studios throughout the night. They’ll be sure to say hello if they see you again at other studios and you should do the same.
- You are free to bounce around to studios in any order as long as you are registered for Night One Studio Crawls – you do not need to stay with your group after the 5pm introductions!
