It’s good to know what to expect from your first networking meeting. Attending your first networking meeting at Better Networking Hubs is an exciting opportunity to connect and grow. So, here’s what you should expect from your first networking meeting:

Upon Arrival

Upon your arrival at 7am, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our members. Enjoy some informal chats and refreshments until 7:15 am, giving you a chance to settle in and meet fellow attendees in a relaxed setting.

Meeting Format

As the meeting officially kicks off, everyone will have the opportunity to introduce themselves with a 60-second pitch. During this time, it is your moment to share what you do and what you’re looking for from the network. Following the introductions, one member will lead the ‘Fifteen Minute Focus.’ This can be a presentation, a Q&A session, or a focused discussion on a specific business challenge where you can gain valuable insights and contribute your ideas.

You’ll be fully involved throughout the meeting, including the referral section at the end. Even as a first-time visitor, you may find yourself receiving referrals! It’s a testament to the supportive and proactive spirit of our community.

Breakfast

Finally at the end of the meeting, after the formal part of the meeting concludes, we all enjoy breakfast together. This is a wonderful time for more relaxed conversations, allowing members and visitors to deepen their connections and get to know each other even better in a more casual atmosphere. It’s an ideal setting to discuss potential collaborations, exchange ideas, and solidify the new relationships formed during the meeting. This is the time when members get to know each other on a more personal level too, further enhancing trust and bonds. Plus, there’s a private space for you to have one-to-one meetings afterwards.

Making You Feel Welcomed

Above all, we strive to make every new member feel welcomed and valued from the start. Furthermore, there will be no pressure to join and become a member on the day. We just want you to experience the benefits of our networking meetings. We look forward to having you visit a meeting and experience the vibrant and helpful atmosphere of Better Networking Hubs, where business development and personal connections go hand in hand.

Now you know what you should expect from your first networking meeting, feel free to book your visitor place or contact us if you have any queries whatsoever.
