FAQ
Our very first networking event is happening on 16th of May, starting at 13:00 BST, and it will last for an hour.
This is an online networking event.
We will start the event with an introduction and an elevator pitch from everyone who joins us to break the ice.
After the introduction, we will move into breakout sessions with no more than four people for networking.
After the breakout sessions, to finish the event we will encourage everyone to share ‘one ask’.
Your ‘ask’ should be a specific request for help you need, like an introduction or a particular connection.
The breakout sessions are small groups of no more than four, aimed at fostering deeper connections, sharing experiences, and exploring potential collaborations.
One session lasts for 20 minutes, and everyone will participate in two breakout sessions.
If you like, you will have one minute to deliver an elevator pitch to either the entire group or within smaller breakout groups. This is just so we can all get to hear what you do and get to know you a little bit.
Don’t worry, we will provide you with a pitch example before the event to help you prepare it.
While we encourage everyone to share their pitch, there is no pressure to.
To ensure you’re included in the follow-up communications, but also to have a chance to connect with other people you didn’t have time to talk to during the event, everyone will fill out a lead sheet with your contact details and key information at the beginning of the event.
This lead sheet is private and exclusive only to registered participants of the event, and will not be shared with anyone else.
Yes, the event is completely free.
The event is hosted online via Sessions, enabling you to join from anywhere globally. You will receive access details upon registration, and there is no need to download any external applications.
It won’t be recorded.
