Sept 5th, 2025 Event Recap
🎮 Klaudless Networking Night Recap – September 5, 2025 @ Tappers Arcade Bar
Our second Klaudless Networking Night took place on Friday, September 5th at Tappers Arcade Bar in Fletcher Place — and it turned out to be one of the most engaging evenings yet.
👥 Attendance & Flow
We had 9 RSVPs and 2 guests from our core group, but the night quickly grew beyond that. What started as a small meetup transformed into something bigger when new faces joined in naturally throughout the evening. A tattoo artist, her friends, and even a friendly security staff member became part of the conversation, proving that these events truly are about open doors and organic connection.
🌟 Highlights
The group shared stories, made introductions, and even played games together — no formal icebreakers needed.
New connections were made between Payge (Squirrely TV) and Madeline (tattoo artist), showing the power of spontaneous networking.
A great conversation with Logan, the security guard, turned into a new contact (and he even joined our group photo!).
The intimate space at Tappers — with the bar, games, and seating all close together — kept the group naturally engaged the entire evening.
⚡ Lessons Learned
Photos: Instead of waiting until the end for one big group picture, we’ll start taking photos throughout the night to capture everyone who joins.
Core Group Dynamic: With fewer core members present this time, the engagement with new people felt much stronger — something to encourage at future events.
Organic Flow: Sometimes the best networking happens when the host steps back and lets the group run with the energy.
🌀 Looking Ahead
Every event so far has reinforced the Klaudless mission: celebrating Indiana’s culture by connecting people in unique venues. Tappers was the perfect backdrop for this kind of connection, and we’re already looking forward to our next meetup.
