How should I choose the right venue for my networking event?

The best venues for networking events are typically large spaces, such as community halls or hotel function spaces. These will typically have plenty of space for mingling, refreshments tables, and a stage for any talks or panels. For a low-cost option, you could choose a private room in a pub or bar to host an informal meetup or lunch. If you’re hosting a networking event for a specific sector or career, you could also approach spaces with connections to that industry — for example, a large bookstore for a publishing-focused event.

How do I host a successful networking event?

A clear objective is key to a strong networking event . Make sure to decide on a narrow focus — such as a specific industry, career path, or job sector — to attract the right attendees and maximize useful connections. You can also add value by increasing opportunities for attendees to mingle. You might choose to structure the event into small group icebreakers, informal coffee breaks, or quick-fire networking circuits to open up conversation.

How can I ensure guests get the most out of my networking event?

The best way to ensure guests get the most out of your networking event is to facilitate follow-up activities. Encourage attendees to join a Facebook or LinkedIn group afterward to share resources and plans for future meetups so they can maximize the connections they made on the day.
