The Venue: Olea Social, Covent Garden

We're hosting at Olea Social - a contemporary Mediterranean bar tucked into the heart of Covent Garden. Expect a warm, stylish atmosphere that feels more like a great evening out than a corporate function. It's within easy walking distance of Covent Garden and Leicester Square Underground stations, making it one of the most accessible spots in central London. Your group will have a dedicated reserved space within the venue.

Tickets & GMax Card

Ticket includes a contactless GMax Card. Ask the host to claim - cards not distributed automatically.

Dress Code

Business/Smart - think first client meeting, not black tie.

Co-Organised By Three London Startups:

  • — A UK-built ecommerce platform that lets you launch your own independent online store, free from reliance on Amazon or eBay
  • — Contactless digital business cards built for the way modern professionals actually meet
  • — An AI-driven LinkedIn tool that helps founders and entrepreneurs grow their professional network at scale
