Event details
Thursday 30th of April - 5.00 - 7.30pm
Most networking advice assumes you can hold a golf club and enjoy small talk. But partnerships, referrals, and new opportunities still run on who you know (and who knows you) - so let's figure out how to make it work without the awkwardness or evening sacrifice.

Good news: the informal networking skills we already have - curiosity, asking good questions, building genuine relationships - are exactly what works. We just need to use them a bit more strategically.

This is a safe space to practice, experiment, and actually connect with people in the room. You'll learn tactics that take 15 minutes a week, how to turn everyday interactions into opportunities, and which relationships you're overlooking that could change your trajectory.

What we will cover:

• The power of specific 'asks' - practising in a low stakes environment
• Turning casual conversations into strategic connections
• Internal networks you're underutilising
