What is a 3rd Space?
A “third space” is a social environment separate from home (first place) and work (second place) where people gather for connection. These places allow for informal social interaction, idea exchange, and a sense of place outside of daily routines.
3rd Space Bucharest are happy hour-style networking events that bring people together in a fun way combined with lightning talks on interesting topics. These talks given by community members will be like 5 min TED talks on interesting topics like How I launched a podcast, How I made my trip to Mexico amazing, How I built my personal brand…etc
There will also be name tags, icebreakers, and lots of socializing and networking so you can develop deeper community connections.
What to Expect
This isn’t another transactional networking event. It’s an intimate gathering (max 25 people) where you’ll:
✨ Connect with people who get it – fellow entrepreneurs, career-changers, and people with a growth mindset
🤝 Build lasting relationships – the kind of community that celebrates your wins and fosters connections
🎯 Co-create the vision – share what you need most on your journey and help shape future gatherings & topics
⚡️ Lightning Talks – 5 min Ted Talks on interesting topics related to business, travel, and personal development.
⚡️ Speed Icebreakers – attendees will hear from nearly every single person

Community Guidelines
This is a safe space for real conversations:
❌ Not for: Aggressively selling your products or services
✅ Yes to: Genuine support, knowledge sharing, and building each other up
🫱🏽🫲🏻 Respect first: We’re here to help, not judge
This is about supporting each other equally and fostering knowledge and growth. If you’re here to pitch rather than participate, this isn’t the right fit.
