After Work Networking London

Renewable Energy Networking Night | Post-Exhibition Social (Day 1)

Join us for an informal networking evening following Day 1 of the Solar & Storage Live exhibition at ExCeL London. This is a relaxed space for professionals across the renewable energy sector to connect after the exhibition — away from the busy exhibition environment. Open to developers, EPCs, suppliers, subcontractors, investors, and technology providers. The focus is simple: ✨ meet new people ✨ exchange insights ✨ build meaningful industry connections Beyond networking, this is also a space where conversations can naturally lead to project opportunities and collaborations across the value chain — from suppliers and subcontractors connecting with EPCs, to EPCs engaging with developers. Some of the best partnerships don’t start in meeting rooms — they start in conversations like these. 📍 Location: Canary Wharf / Soho (TBC based on attendance) 🕒 Evening 💰 Price Free (pay for your own drinks) This is a free event — just come along, have a drink, and connect. — 🔗 We will also be hosting a follow-up Dinner & Drinks on Day 2 (30 April).

Thank you for all.” - Sonya 🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika 🗣 “I loved F\*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda 🗣 “Lively, interesting, introspective, completely open, and no judgment. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! “ - Yaz Check out our other [reviews on Google here](https://goo.gl/maps/TpZy77bfPFkGoikn7) 🫶 🤓 FAQ **• Can I come alone?** Of course, in fact, we encourage it! **• Can I be late?** Please don't! "Doors" open at 11:45am and we start at exactly 12:00pm! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow. **• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?** We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25 people. We believe this is a good number to ensure an awesome experience, and we’ve learned that it’s easier to build connections with smaller groups! Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛 **• Why do you charge?** We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. 💛 This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! 🎈 However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend.
