Frequently Asked Questions
Day of Event
Check-in begins at 6:30 PM and closes at 6:50 PM. You must be checked in by 6:50 PM and anyone not checked in by the cutoff will be considered a no-show and removed from the event. Matches are then rerun without them, so late arrivals cannot be added back in.
Parking lots and street parking are available around the Portland Expo Center. For more information, including nearby parking options, visit the Portland Expo Center Parking Information page.
The event will be held at the Portland Expo Center, a spacious event venue located at 239 Park Ave, Portland, ME 04102, next to the Sea Dogs baseball stadium.
Texting is only used for day-of check-in and event reminders and it isn't required to take part. Whether or not you opted in, you can log in on our website after the event to view your rounds and see your mutual matches.
Who Can Attend
This event is open to all genders and sexual orientations. Because each attendee selects the ages and genders they're interested in meeting, everyone participates in the same event while getting their own personalized set of speed dating rounds.
Refund Policy
All sales are final. One day before the event, we'll run our matching software to determine whether we can find at least 5 people who fit your age and gender preferences. If we cannot, you'll receive a full refund and be notified by email and text that you do not need to attend.
No refunds will be issued if you are late, miss the check-in cutoff, or can no longer attend the event.
Event Photography Policy
Maine 207 Connect, Portland Maine Singles, and our partner organizations may take photos throughout the event to capture the fun, energy, and connections happening in our community. Photos may be shared on social media, our website, and in future event promotions.
By attending, you acknowledge that you may be photographed and that your photo may be used to help showcase our events and the Maine singles community.
