Founders + Professionals Connector (Under-35s)

A meetup for under-35 founders and professionals across industries - a space designed around real exchange in Kingston, South West London.
About this Event

Founders + Professionals Connector is a new meetup series in Kingston upon Thames for people under 35 who are actively building something - a company, a project, a career, or the next step in their work - and who are looking to join a community of others doing the same.

The idea is straightforward: bring together a small, cross-industry room of people who take their work seriously, give them a good setting and just enough structure, and let the conversations do the work.

For a lot of people building their careers or businesses locally, the difficulty isn’t ambition or ideas - it’s simply meeting the right peers; this evening is designed to make that part easier.

Venue:

We’re hosting at Zega, one of Kingston’s newer cafés in the Ancient Market Place (yes, the one with the Instagram-famous Matcha Lattes).

Agenda:

6:00pm Doors open | Settle in with one of Zega's classic coffees or teas and a signature cinnamon bun

6:15pm Open networking | Time to meet the room; our team will be on hand to make introductions if you'd like a warm start

6:30pm Welcome | A short welcome from Forbes Low, CEO of Kingston Chamber

6:35pm Conversation & networking | The rest of the evening is yours to connect and catchup

7:30pm Close

Who will be attending the event?

Expect a cross-industry mix of founders, professionals, directors and entrepreneurs who are navigating early-career challenges and looking to grow their community.

What is included:

Your ticket includes a welcome drink from Zega's classic coffee and tea menu and their signature cinnamon bun on arrival.
