Human-First Networking London

May Human First

Monthly In-Person Event for Women in Business

Wednesday 20 May. 12:00–2:30. Balham, London

2026 is already being called the year of trust and community, and we are building that right here.

This is a networking experience for women who want meaningful conversations, deeper connection and a space where they feel truly supported. Not transactional. Not performative. Not algorithm dependent.

Just real women, real connection and real momentum. Human first.

Keynote speaker: Slaveia Christoff

+ Featuring 2 Panel Sessions
+ Bonus Wedding Ceremony Experience with Karen & Louise

Have you ever been to a business wedding? 💍

Probably not… which is why you are invited.

At this special edition of Human First, Karen Farrell and Louise Adolphsen are officially “getting married”… in business.

After months of hosting powerful, sell-out networking events with Human First, it became clear that something bigger was happening. The connection, the energy, the growth… it only made sense to join forces and turn this into a true partnership.

So we’re celebrating the only way we know how… with a full-on wedding ceremony 😆

💍 A playful (but meaningful) business “I do” moment
🥂 A room full of brilliant, like-minded women
✨ The signature Human First energy you already love

And because we can’t do anything just for fun… we’re also bringing the value 👇

You’ll experience:
💛 Two powerful panel conversations with our “bridesmaids”
💛 Real, honest conversations about business, visibility, and growth
💛 A space where connection comes first and opportunities follow

Human. First is not your typical networking event.
It’s part celebration, part ceremony, part real talk… and fully unforgettable.

If you love the idea of mixing business with a bit of fun, depth, and connection… you’re going to feel right at home here.

A warm, uplifting afternoon designed to help you:

✨ Connect with like-minded women
✨ Build relationships that turn into collaborations, clients and referrals
✨ Feel supported instead of isolated
✨ Grow your visibility in a grounded, human-first way
✨ Be part of a community that wants to see you win

This is the room where conversations spark momentum.

Every Human-First Networking event includes:

• Coffee, pastries and gentle arrival connection
• A 20-minute Guest Expert Keynote Session with Slaveia Christoff
• 2 Panel Sessions
• Organic networking that feels relaxed, natural and truly human
• A nurturing space to meet new women with openness and ease

This event is brought to you by Karen and Louise, two women deeply committed to connection, community and helping others rise.
