UKB2B host many types of business networking events in Liverpool like Informal networking, Speed Networking (that's Speed networking not Speed Dating) but if your single who knows?

Informal Business Networking in Liverpool

These are by far, the most popular type of business networking event that UKB2B organise in Liverpool. They are very informal and are often hosted and sponsored at local businesses that know the instant benefits of having 50 to 100 local Liverpool businesses at their business premises, just think of the extra exposure for your business.

Speed Networking events in Liverpool.

Due to the amazing success of any one who has been to a speed dating event, you will instantly know the benefits of taking such a simple idea and just adapting it to benefit local Liverpool businesses.

How it works:

It lasts about 2 hours with a break in the middle (after 1 hour)

The room is set out with 12 lots of 4 chairs (usually)

Each person is told to find a seat is given a number from 1 to 4.

You have 3 minutes in each group to tell the other three businesses about your own business, this is repeated around the chairs until all of you have successfully explained what you do, how you do it and exchanged business cards.

Then one person stays (number one) and then 2, 3, 4 fet to move on to the next lot of chairs and it all starts again.

The main advantages of this is the sheer amount of local Liverpool business people you will successfully inform on your particular business rather than maybe talking to a few in a room informally.
