London networking event - networking evening at Furniture Makers Hall, London

Urbano Network hosts a varied calendar of weekly London networking events, including breakfast events featuring great speakers, networking lunches and a networking evening each month which are free for Urbano members.

Urbano networking evenings are famously relaxed and informal social events, with lightly facilitated networking and a unique online Event Group for post-event networking. Everyone is also given an attendee sheet with the details of every company and their representatives. Introductions are made by Mark Herring, Urbano's MD, where he sees value for both parties, often based on information about each attendee and their services and requirements that only he knows.

Urbano evenings are free for members. Company members can send two representatives. Attendees are drawn from a range of sectors and sizes of companies, from professionals and creatives, directors and managers, large corporates and SMEs, all looking to network over a glass of wine with a friendly crowd of interested contacts. Non-members always welcome.

The emphasis at all Urbano's networking events is to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. There are is always plenty of chances to talk, share information, build associations and develop new business. We make introductions between businesses where we thing there will be common interest and value, often using knowledge gained by previous conversations.

Our host venue for our November networking evening is the historic Furniture Makers' Hall in the City of London, a beautiful venue in the heart of the City of London. Our hosts will supply complimentary drinks and canapes.

Canapes Menu

• Mini roast vegetable kebabs
• Smoked salmon on blinis with caviar cream
• Thai chicken and mango tartlet
• Oriental duck spring roll
• Lemon tart with dried raspberries

The networking event starts at 6pm and Urbano's MD Mark Herring will welcome you with a glass of wine and help you find interesting contacts within the roomful of business owners, directors, partners, senior managers and entrepreneurs.

Urbano evenings are famously relaxed and the conversations friendly and natural. The mix is diverse and 'selling' is frowned upon. No rapid-fire two-minute mini-presentations or stiff handshakes as you rush around the room.

Urbano's unique online networking toolkit means you don't have to speak to everyone in the room. You will always stay connected online through the event group (even non-members) and so you can network at your own pace and with those you would like to chat to.

“Both Kate and I really enjoyed our first Urbano evening networking event at Buddha Bar. All very relaxed and, dare I say it, fun. Never thought I'd say that about a networking event!

So much so we have decided to become Urbano members. The mix and quality of events, companies, and the relaxed approach suits us. We're really looking forward to being a part of Urbano."
