Non-Obvious Experiences
The Non-Obvious
7 Minute Meetup
A gathering designed to help people make new connections at industry events, hosted by Rohit Bhargava. It is technically 7 minutes, but people tend to stay, and connect.
Why The World Needs This
Networking is broken, but we all still need to connect.
How can we all make real connections at networking events and conferences between badge scans and elevator pitches? After doing hundreds of keynotes and witnessing people hungry for real connections, Rohit created this unique 7 minute meetup as an add-on to his talks where learning to ask a simple question changes everything.
The Question: What is something non-obvious about you?
From past meetups, attendees have found a new best friend, a podcasting partner, and some even started a romantic relationship.
Disclaimer: your relationship success (romantic or otherwise) may vary.
How It Works
Schedule 7 minutes
Easy to fit into any agenda. Best right before lunch or a happy hour.
Hand out yellow glasses
Every attendee gets a pair, a fun reminder to stay open minded.
Jumpstart conversations
Everyone shares something non-obvious about themselves. The small talk disappears.

Designed To Add On To A Keynote
The 7 Minute Meetup is designed as a bonus for events where Rohit is invited to be a speaker. There are no additional speaking fees to integrate it into your event, just a small fee to cover the cost of the glasses and for Rohit to host it.
The ideal timing is right before a lunch break, or before a happy hour at the end of a day of sessions. Your team provides the venue and logistics, we bring the format, the energy and the eyewear.
Glasses can also be co-branded with your event or company logo for a small additional fee, and a shipping estimate can be provided before you order.
