The Link Up Network was a lifesaver. Their events are efficient, fun, and the perfect way to wind down after a hard week. I attended one event and met several great people, including my now-boyfriend, David. We both credit Link Up for creating an environment where busy professionals can genuinely connect. It’s the best night out in DC for singles who value their time.”

“Between client meetings, travel, and deadlines, dating was impossible. The Link Up Network made it easy by creating efficient, enjoyable speed dating events that fit my busy schedule. Two hours out of my month to meet 10-15 quality singles in DC? That’s better ROI than any dating app I’ve tried! I appreciate how they attract other career-focused professionals who value their time. These events help me maintain work-life balance and actually enjoy the process of meeting new people. Plus, the relaxed atmosphere is the perfect way to wind down after a stressful work week.”

Everyone there is intentional about finding connections, and the time-efficient format respects how busy we all are. I’ve attended four events so far and each one has been a refreshing break from my demanding career. Highly recommend for busy professionals in the DC metro area looking for meaningful connections!”
