Book your next event today and meet up to 12 new singles in one night.
Speed dating is a structured social event where singles meet multiple people in a single evening through short, timed mini-dates. Instead of endless texts or dating app ghosting, you’ll enjoy face-to-face conversations that make real chemistry possible.
Swipe Events is Australia’s premier speed dating app connecting singles through live, in-person events. Built using Flutter technology with Firebase backend, our platform seamlessly blends digital matchmaking with real-world connections. Available on the App Store, Google Play Store, and through our web app, Swipe Events eliminates traditional hosts and name tags – your phone becomes your personal dating assistant, pairing you with multiple potential partners in structured, timed conversations reimagined for the smartphone generation.
At a typical event:
-
You’ll meet 8–12 singles in a friendly venue.
-
Each chat lasts 5–8 minutes.

At the end, you choose who you’d like to see again.

Speed dating is a fun way to meet multiple singles in one evening through short, structured mini-dates. At a Swipe Events night in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, or Canberra, you’ll typically meet 8–12 people for 5–8 minute conversations. Using the Swipe Events app, you simply check in, rotate when prompted, and tap Match or Friend. By the next morning, your matches are sent directly to your inbox — no guesswork, no pressure.
Most Swipe Events speed dating sessions feature 8–12 mini-dates, depending on the venue and age group. This balance ensures you meet enough new people without feeling overwhelmed. Beyond the structured dates, there’s also mingling time at the bar, giving you extra chances to chat.
Dress code is smart casual. Think of it like a first date at a nice bar:
For men: a fitted shirt or polo with jeans or chinos.
For women: a stylish top with pants, a casual dress, or something you’d wear to a Collins Street wine bar or Fitzroy rooftop.
The goal is to look approachable and confident — comfortable enough to relax, but polished enough to show you’ve made an effort.
Yes. Swipe Events carefully selects safe, centrally located venues with professional hosts and built-in app moderation features. Since events are face-to-face in public bars and lounges, it’s far safer than meeting strangers online. Our app also includes reporting tools and discreet exit options, ensuring every attendee feels comfortable.
Swipe Events attracts a diverse mix of singles:
Young professionals in their 20s & 30s looking for fun and chemistry.
Mature singles in their 40s & 50s seeking serious connections.
Culturally inclusive events for Asian singles, Christian dating, and more.
Dedicated LGBTQ+ nights for queer singles in Melbourne, Sydney, and beyond.
Most attendees are busy professionals or new arrivals to the city who want to meet people outside their usual circles.
Studies show traditional speed dating has around a 45–50% chance of creating at least one match per night, compared to online dating where only 1 in 100 profiles may lead to a connection. With Swipe Events, matches are even higher because of our smart app pairing and inclusive event formats — meaning better odds of finding someone you genuinely click with.
Absolutely. In fact, most people attend solo. Our hosts are trained to make you feel welcome, and the app handles all the logistics. If you’d prefer, you can also book multiple tickets and attend with a friend — simply transfer their ticket through the app.
Yes. We run a variety of age-based events across Australia, including:
20s & 30s speed dating (young professionals and students).
40s & 50s+ dating nights (for more mature singles).
Specialist events like LGBTQ+, Asian speed dating, and Christian dating.
This way, you’re always meeting singles at a similar life stage.
Ticket prices start from $29.90 for early bird offers, with standard tickets usually between $34.90–$49.90 depending on the city and venue. This includes your entry, structured dates, and access to matches via the app. Some events also include a welcome drink.
That’s okay — speed dating is about exploring possibilities. Even if you don’t make a romantic match, many attendees leave with new friends, networking contacts, or future event buddies. And with regular events in every major city, you’ll always have another chance to try again.
Simply download the Swipe Events app from the App Store or Google Play, create your profile, and browse events in your city. You can also find selected events on Eventbrite. Booking takes less than a minute, and your ticket is stored in the app.
