Keep It Together: WIchita's Friend-Making Social Experience
Harvester Arts
120 E 1st St, Suite 115
Wichita, Kansas
6 pm - 10 pm
Keep It Together: A Friend-Making Social Experience is a structured night of games, conversations, and unexpected connections designed to make meeting new people feel easy, natural, and actually fun.
Instead of awkward mingling, you’ll move through guided activities, group games, and interactive moments that help conversations happen instantly—and lead to real connections by the end of the night.
Show up, participate, and let the structure do the work. You might arrive not knowing anyone… and leave with a whole new circle.
Welcome to Keep It Together: Wichita's Friend-Making Social Experience
We’re really glad you’re here.
If you scanned this QR code, you’re probably curious about what this is — or wondering if it’s for you.
So here’s the full picture.
WHAT THIS EVENT IS
Keep It Together is a structured social experience designed to help people actually meet each other in real ways.
Not just show up. Not just stand around. Not just hope it happens.
We intentionally design the environment so connection is easier, more natural, and less awkward.
We use:
- Connection Cards based on your responses
- Compatibility-style matching
- Guided group activities
- Structured interaction moments throughout the night
Everything is built around the people who attend.
This is not a walk-in event. Registration is required in advance.
THIS IS NOT A DATING EVENT
Just to be very clear:
This is NOT a dating event.
While people may naturally form romantic connections, that is not the focus or purpose.
This event is designed for:
- friendship
- community building
- meeting new people
- creating real social connection in Wichita
No pressure. No expectations. Just connection in whatever form it naturally takes.

To attend, you must:
- Purchase a ticket
- Complete your participant form after purchase
Important details:
- Limited to 100 attendees
- Registration closes August 1st
- No walk-ins or day-of entry
We need advance information because we create parts of the experience specifically for each attendee.
WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE
Your experience includes:
- Custom Connection Cards created from your form responses
- Your personalized compatibility-style matches
- A Top Match / connection reveal moment

We’re not just hosting an event — we’re building the social experience around you.
VOLUNTEERS
We are also selecting up to 15 volunteers to help support the event.
We’re looking for people who naturally:
- help others feel comfortable

- create a welcoming, safe presence in a room

IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING
By attending this event, you acknowledge that:

- Participation is voluntary and self-guided
- Some experiences depend on your pre-event form responses
- You are responsible for your own well-being and belongings during the event
- Keep It Together ICT is not liable for personal injury or loss except where required by law
WHY THIS EXISTS
We built this because making friends as an adult is weirdly hard.
Most spaces are either:
- too unstructured to connect easily
- or too formal to feel natural
- involve alcohol or smoking
- involve the pressure to purchase something to be able to stay there
So we created something in between: a space where connection is intentionally supported, not left to chance.
HOW TO JOIN
If you’re coming:
- Purchase your ticket
- Complete your participant form
- Show up ready to meet people (in your own way, at your own pace)
We’ll handle the rest.
FINAL NOTE
You don’t need to be outgoing.
You don’t need to know anyone.
You just need to show up.
Somewhere else in the area, your people are probably wondering if they should come too.
