/ About this event

Join us for The Meaningful Handshake Experiment.

At Purpose:Labs, we run social experiments. In this event, we’re testing a simple idea: what if a handshake carried real context instead of just a name, title and a QR code?

You’ll try a new way of making conversations more meaningful from the very first moment.

Come experience it with founders, investors, operators, and builders who want meaningful connections. No pitches, no agendas — just a different kind of handshake experience that actually leads somewhere.
