Sci-Fi Speed Dating, the enormously popular dating event which has figured prominently at several ReedPOP shows will return to the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo in 2012. After a successful launch at Star Wars Celebration V in 2010, Sci-Fi Speed Dating gathered considerable momentum at the Chicago event and New York Comic Con in 2011. Organized by founder Ryan Glitch, this event has taken the geek romance world by storm by providing venues where like-minded and passionate fans can meet each other and indulge their common -- and sometimes not so common -- interests.
Featured in The Huffington Post, EW.com and numerous other media outlets, the event was even filmed at NYCC last fall for a two-part-special for the TLC channel called Geek Love.
“This works, whether you’re looking for true love, or new friends … relax, be yourself, and you can find someone to wander the con with, and maybe more … trust in the force!” says Glitch. “We’re just here to do a good job, and have fun.”
This year’s conference will feature five free Speed Dating sessions taking place throughout the course of the weekend. Speed Dating’s blind dates last three minutes, but if sparks fly, participants are free to meet up after the session. At all sessions, host Ryan Glitch and his crew will take fans through the easy process of finally finding their true match.
