Elite Events
People that attend a Fast Impressions speed dating event and attract over 70% of 'yes' votes from the people they meet become “Elite” members. Elite members are special and rare, and as such they are invited to future events at a special low rate.
What's more, from time to time we hold special Elite events. Only around 5% of guests receive an invitation to an 'Elite' event and the only way to find out of you're going to be one of the lucky few is to register for standard speed dating event and try your hand!

Masquerade
These social events held in Sydney give you the opportunity to meet and mingle with 100 other sinlges at the decadent Statement Lounge, part of the State Theatre. These events are a lot less structured than speed dating and the focus is on encouraging conversation in a great setting with a fabulous string quartet and our accommodating hosts.
The theme is Masquerade and guests will de-masque at 11.30pm.
Prior to the event attendees are sent some question which will in turn form part of the evening's mingling process.
Numbers are strictly limited.

Tall Men/Tall Women Special Interest Event
If you've had enough of perring down at your dates from the lofty heights that you inhabit then our Tall Men/Tall Women events are for you! You'll be able to look your dates square in the eye with no danger of developing a crick in your neck.
We define 'tall' as being 180 cms (6') and over for men and 170 cms (5'8") and over for women. We implement these guidelines very strictly, so if you're, er, vertically challenged, then please register for a standard speed dating event.

Media, Arts & Creative Special Interest Events
These events are for singles that work in the media, arts or creative industries, or at the very least have a penchant for all things cultural. So if you're a scribbler, hack, doodler, muso or 'artiste' of any description then come and check out one of these events.
If your idea of the ultimate cultural event is footy and unlimited free beer then it's just possible that our Media, Arts and Creatieve events are not quite your cup of tea.

Postgraduate Special Interest Events
Our postgrad events are designed for singles that are educated to postgraduate level (or are at the very least intellectually inclined) and want to meet other similarly cerebral singles. At these events you get the opportunity to meet people that, like you, prefer brains to brawn.

Athletic Special Interest Events
In order to attend an athletic event you should be in great shape and exercise regularly. You're the sort of person that works out at least twice a week and loves sport. It isn't just about keeping fit, you do it because it makes you feel great and it’s part of your lifestyle. And it’s not enough to want to meet someone athletic, you need to be athletic yourself! So if your idea of exercise is getting up to change the channel on the TV then please register for a standard event.
