Interior Design and Hospitality Networking Event
PEL Network helps you connect with the right people at luxurious locations. So you can boost your business ten fold. We welcome interior designers, architects, builders, real estate developers, entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders and professionals from various fields.
We always choose the luxurious lounges all around London so you can network in peace and focus. We make sure you feel comfortable and fulfill all of your needs. Our locations are at the heart of central london so it's easy for you to travel to and from. Food and drinks are also available at our venues.
For our event, we have reserved an area of the venue so that we can mix and mingle and meet old and new friends, new contacts, and new clients too! We encourage everyone to talk to as many people in the event as possible. That said, once you feel a certain chemistry or opportunity with someone, we encourage to talk with them on a deeper level. We forget about 90% of people after a goodnight sleep. However when we establish an emotional resonance with someone, they will remember us the next day.
Program: The evening's format is called personalized networking. No more being stuck in 10 min superficial conversations and exchanging cards or linkedin. It is designed for networking in a relaxed setting, providing an opportunity to meet fellow business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors. We emphasize building genuine relationships on a personal level. I will be there to help with introductions and get over the barrier of anxiety when approaching someone you don't know.
How many people are attending? The venue has a capacity limit of 40 guests, and due to the popularity of our events and the unique ambiance of the location, we anticipate this event will reach full capacity quickly. We strongly advise securing your reservation early to ensure attendance. If you haven't gotten a ticket, you can pay when you arrive but it will be 50% more expensive than buying it in advance. Our events achieve success through a straightforward yet impactful strategy. A few days prior to the event, we establish a WhatsApp group for attendees interested in pre-event networking, enabling participants to arrange meetings both for the event day and beforehand. On the day of the event, you will experience a relaxing atmosphere with a hospitable and encouraging community.
Dress code: business casual (no trainers, no jeans)
Refund policy: Advance purchase tickets are offered at a discounted rate compared to those bought on the event day. Please note, these tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to another individual of your choosing.
PEL Network Membership: If you buy the yearly membership for our PEL Network you will receive the following benefits.
1. All the events are free for the whole year.
2. Join the members only community chats and events.
3. One free Motivational Profile Test
4. One free Sensory Personality Test

Wine Not? (Women Only)
Wine Not? is a women-only gathering before the Balancers Saturday social.
Most attendees come solo, so it’s an easy and welcoming place to meet people and settle in before the night gets busier.
London can make meeting new people feel awkward, especially if you're coming alone. This early social creates a comfortable environment where you can chat, laugh, and get to know a few friendly faces first.
Expect a relaxed atmosphere, a few light games, and plenty of time to connect naturally.
**At 7.30 pm the main Balancers social begins**, and the room fills as over **150 people usually join the night**.
Wine Not? naturally flows into the rest of the evening, so you’re welcome to stay and enjoy the full experience.
Coming solo is completely normal. Our hosts will be there to help everyone feel comfortable, included, and connected from the start.

Spy Hunt: Pub Race | London 20s and 30s
**On Friday 5th June, we're hugely excited to be heading into the City of London for our latest Spy Hunt!**
If you've never joined us for a themed "**[Chicken Rush](https://chickenru.sh/)**" event before, this event can best be described as a fun and awesome hybrid of a pub crawl, a scavenger hunt and a classic game of hide and seek.
The main aim of the game is very simple: **find the spy, hiding in a top secret pub in London 🕵️**
With the help of a circle around the spy's approximate location, that shrinks every 2 minutes - you’ll need to race in teams and go pub to pub to hunt the spy down.
The first three teams to successfully find the spy earning a lion share of the points available.
**But there's a couple of plot twists 🤫**
If you enter a pub or bar that doesn't house the spy - at least two members of your team will have to buy a drink!
And this is not just a simple race to find the spy as we've also prepared a series of spy-themed tasks and challenges that you can complete on the way, that can help you earn extra points.
The team with the most points by the end of the game will be crowned the winners 🏆
It's always great fun and makes for a memorable night of Friday social fun, and so hopefully you can join us for this!

Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week.
You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring.
Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell.
**This month**
Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads.
**What to expect**
Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM.
**Who this is for**
Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community.
**Not the right fit if**
You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM.
**Details**
* Second Monday of every month
* 12:00 to 1:30 PM
* Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219
* Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive
* Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited
**About the host**
Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method. She runs Visibility is Profitability, the membership where local business owners build the system that keeps their phone ringing. Learn more at learnlocalmarketing.com.
