DESCRIPTION:This event: Is LGBTQ hosted\, May be of interest to the LGBTQ community || Meeting new friends is hard. Where do you look? How do you choose who to talk to? Or what to talk about?

Show up\, grab a beverage\, and let Delta staff do the rest. And feel free to bring a friend: The more the merrier! We’ll provide the conversation prompts (and the timer)\, and attendees will get the opportunity to have a short but lively discussion with a rotating set of fellow community-seekers. Stick around after the official programming to mingle and pick up where you left off with your brand-new pals. Meeting new people has never been so easy\, or so quick! || Free to meet!
