Thursday |AI Matchmaking Cocktail Party at The Porch| Flagstaff, AZ

• Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!

The Porch is your go-to Flagstaff spot for craft cocktails, delicious food, and good vibes. Their retro atmosphere creates the perfect backdrop for meeting new people and making real connections.

How the night works:

• Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire.
• The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.
• After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!

What to expect:

• The matching process is highly intentional—come with an open mind.
• If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.
• At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.
