Who are IWant2Network?
Networking that’s about quality, not just turning up.
IWant2Network (IW2N) is a professionally facilitated networking community designed to help you build meaningful, relevant connections — without awkward small talk or hard selling.
Members join one monthly IW2N group as their home group, but gain access to other IW2N groups across the network (subject to category availability). This means you can expand your contacts through online, Essex, and London groups, all within one connected community.
Alongside the monthly groups, IW2N members also have access to 2–3 iWant2Network networking events every month, mainly in London. These take place in iconic and interactive venues, blending memorable experiences with structured, purposeful networking.
Membership also includes access to our active members’ WhatsApp group, keeping conversations and opportunities flowing between meetings.
With 158 sessions planned in 2026, IW2N offers regular, high-quality opportunities to grow your network the right way.
We name all our groups after iconic people
- Online Groups - QE2, Brunel, Foster, Shakespeare
- London Groups - Wren, Turing, Darwin, Churchill
- Essex Groups - Augustus, Marconi, Earhart
