Record Breaking
The whole speed dating process will be witnessed, verified, and recognized immediately by a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ adjudicator at the event. This attempt is to break the current record for the largest speed dating event that consisted of 464 participants which was held in New Zealand on the 25th July 2013.
“Paktor Speed Date Night is a great venue for Vietnamese singles to network, make friends, and possibly find their soul mates in a comfortable, lively atmosphere. This is also an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to be part of a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ achievement and share the excitement with the world,” said Joseph Phua, Paktor’s founder and CEO. “Going on a date in search for your better half isn't something that just happens by itself; it's something you actively seek. In this day and age, where time is of the essence, dating focused mobile applications like Paktor, just like speed-dating, are go-to channels for singles to find their soul mate”..
Connecting Singles
The speed date night is presented by Paktor, the very first mobile dating app designed for Asians, and Sagiko, a flagship juice drink brand by Singapore-based F&B giant CKL Holdings Pte Ltd, with a mission to connect Vietnamese youth.
