About this event
Making new friends abroad doesn’t happen by accident.
When you move to a new city, you leave behind your circle, your routines, and your support system.
That’s why we created Next Locals: a regular meetup in Nice designed to help you build real friendships with people who get it.
Every Friday, we bring together internationals living abroad for drinks, laughs, and conversations that actually matter.
No name tags. No awkward intros. Just people who intentionally show up for the same reason you do: connection and belonging.
Whether you’ve just arrived or you’ve been here for years, you’ll walk away from this meetup with new friends and a sense of home.
One evening is all it takes to feel like you belong in Nice.
What to expect from your first Next Locals meetup
On arrival, you’ll be welcomed by your local community leader, Scott Holford, who makes sure everyone feels included from the start.
No standing around, no awkward moments wondering who to talk to.
Our meetups are small enough for real conversations (usually 10–25 people) but big enough for variety.
You can easily join conversations, switch groups, and actually get to know people.
No cliques. No name tags. No boring presentations. Just friendly people, good vibes, and real connection.
Everyone comes with the same purpose: to meet new friends, share stories, and feel home in Nice.
That’s how you go from being abroad to becoming the next local in town.

Consumption is paid separately at the venue. But don’t worry, we partner with our favourite places. You get the full experience without breaking the bank. Think trendy spots locals love, not overpriced tourist traps.
It depends on the group. But most meetups are in English, since it’s the most universal language among internationals. You don’t need to be perfect, just open-minded. What matters most is showing up as yourself.
Nope. No suits. No sales pitches. Just a relaxed atmosphere, drinks, and real talk with people who’ve moved abroad and want more out of life. Business will naturally come up because it’s a big part of your life, and part of who you are. It’s just not the focus of this meetup :)
Because this isn’t random or rushed. Your membership covers the hosting, the matching, the planning, and the experience. It’s the difference between another awkward night and a real connection. First meetup is free during your free trial so you can see for yourself.
You’re not alone, everyone feels that way at first. But that’s exactly why we exist. The group are balanced, the vibe is relaxed, and people come open-minded. You’ll be surprised how fast it clicks.

We love that but each person needs their own membership. It keeps the experience intentional and personal. If your friend signs up, we’ll do our best to seat you together next time.
