Hatton Garden – Oct 2011

You may have already attended networking events this month. However, if you have yet to plan your diary here is a pretty comprehensive list of networking gigs to consider.

Those seeking connections with new media/techno geeks should check keep an eye on Mashup, Innovation Warehouse and Digital Lounge. Note also that urbanonetwork offer the chance to question Google’s Peter Barron.

Those of us interested in exploring the potential of Anglo-Asian connections should look up the +91 seminar and the reception hosted by the Asian Business Association. Incidentally I’m keen to meet a Mumbai media mogul! Can anyone offer me a referral?

SBB, ICoC and DBC offer great opportunities to meet local businesses in Essex, Islington and Docklands respectively whereas Business Junction, The London Chamber and Urbano attract a wider cross section of London business execs. Others to keep an eye on include Drinks & Links and Peal Networking.

Workshops, seminars and events staged by Women Unlimited, City Women’s Network and others can be accessed directly or go to the WeAreTheCity WATC website for links to even more.

If I have omitted your networking event, please feel free to drop me a note with the details for inclusion.

Fruitful networking.
