Dumbledore’s Army of Friends - Speed Date Your Next BFF!
Friday July 5, 2024 3:45pm - 4:45pm PDT
E145
Would you like to meet new people who share your love of all things magical, but you're not sure how to start a conversation without it being weird? Then this is the panel for you! 

Join us where attendees will be seated across from one another, speed dating style (but without the dating), and given a wizarding-related prompt question to get the conversation flowing. Attendees are given a couple of minutes to discuss a prompt with each new friend before the buzzer rings and we switch seats to chat with someone new. Come for our cool badge ribbons; leave with your new LeakyCon BFFs!
