About this Event
Agency Folk Walk Club in London
Join us for a netwalk (walk 'n' talk) along the Southbank on the River Thames followed by a cuppa.
Grab the chance to blow away the cobwebs, meet agency folk and come away feeling energised to tackle any challenges agency life throws at you! 😜
As one agency leader put it..."It was fab to get outside and combine networking with a scenic walk and made me think what a great idea it is to get out in the fresh air with people and learn more about what everyone else is going through currently in agency world."
The walking route is approx. 60 mins, all on the flat, suitable for all abilities and runs between the London Eye and The Golden Hinde. Enough to get your steps in but not too much to leave you shattered for the rest of the day.
Wander past Royal Festival Hall, National Theatre, OXO Tower, Blackfriars Station, Tate Modern, St Paul's Cathedral, Shakespeare Globe Theatre and many other London attractions.
Meet new people, make new connections and discover ways to collaborate. It's an opportunity to discuss topics such as business development and sales tactics, ideas to generate healthy profits, ways to keep clients happy, advice on finding top talent, tips to stay sane and anything else that goes into running a successful agency.
So, why not grab your chance to connect with like-minded professionals, share your experiences, and exchange ideas whilst out in the fresh air?
Spaces are limited, so be quick and grab a ticket!
