About this Event
January events at PUBNetworking are always busy, so expect a full room!
Powered Up Business Networking is an "out of hours" event that strips away the usual networking formalities. No long pitches, no bland tea and coffee. You get real conversations with real people and plenty of laughs along the way.
The best business connections come from the people you enjoy spending time with. The ones you trust. PUBNetworking is where you find them.
We keep the structure light, the atmosphere relaxed and the focus on people. You can learn from others, pick up ideas and enjoy the night with no strings attached.
Just bring yourself, your e-ticket and a good smile.
What you can expect...
Meet great people
We attract start-ups, experienced business owners and everything in between. With no memberships or contracts, everyone attends because they want to be there. That makes conversations easier and more genuine.
Build real relationships
People buy from people. When the pressure is off, connections grow naturally. You get to know others properly and enjoy the process.
Learn without the pitch
Every event gives you something useful to take away. Our speakers share value, not disguised sales presentations. If you learn something that helps your business, we’ve done our job.
Have fun
A relaxed environment, a drink in your hand and a few questionable jokes. PUBNetworking is built around people first, business second.
This month’s speaker
Our speaker for this event is Xandrina Allday. Her talk is called "Where to Focus on Social Media in 2026 (and What to Stop Wasting Time On)"
Social media is louder than ever, but not everything deserves your time. In this short talk, Xandrina will break down where businesses should realistically be focusing their efforts in 2026, from video and LinkedIn to creators and employee advocacy, and what’s no longer working.
