What we’re about
Linkar hosts real-world meetups designed to bring people together through genuine conversation, shared experiences, and community-led connection.
Social Drop-Ins are relaxed, flexible gatherings where you can come and go at your own pace, meet new people, build friendships, and learn through real conversations, without pressure, structure, or expectations.
Each week, these meetups create real-world connection hubs. Friendly spaces where people talk, connect, and take part in a growing network built around showing up in real life. Participation is recognised through the Linkar platform, where meaningful interactions contribute toward progress within the ecosystem.
By attending, meeting others, and engaging in person, you earn Linkar Points simply for being part of the experience. You can link to the host QR and connect with others through their Linkar codes, reinforcing real-world interaction and moving closer to rewards that reflect your involvement.
The rewards are real and varied, ranging from everyday treats and experiences to bigger moments like meals out, cinema trips, spa days, tech items, and travel opportunities, all earned through real-world connection.
You’ll be joining Linkar at an early stage, helping shape a platform built to bring people together beyond screens. Early participants play a meaningful role in defining the culture, energy, and direction of the community as it grows.
If you’re looking to meet friendly people, enjoy meaningful moments, learn through conversation, and be part of something bigger from the start, you’re in the right place.
Come as you are.
Connect in real life.
Be part of the human revolution.
