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.
