About this Event

Meet local businesses, have proper conversations and enjoy a room with a bit of energy to it.


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 the awesome Skye Van Heyzen. His tak is called "The Silent Frequency: Commanding the Room Without Saying a Word."

Some of the most influential people in business are not the loudest.

In this session, Skye explores how non verbal leadership, quiet authority and high level listening skills help you build trust, uncover client needs and command attention naturally.

Learn practical techniques to improve presence, strengthen credibility and influence conversations without dominating the room.
