Ipswich - Powered Up Business Networking - November 2025

Don't hang about if you want to join us - our Ipswich events are always busy!

Powered Up Business Networking (PUBNetworking) is an “out of hours” networking event that does away with the usual networking formalities.

You’ll get to learn about the people behind the business - without a torrent of sales pitches …and bland tea and coffee. And you’ll get to have a lot of laughs whilst you’re at it!

As you know, the best business connections are the people you want to spend time with outside of work. They’re the people you can trust, and whose company you enjoy. PUBNetworking is the place to find them.

We have a loose structure, relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to learn from other business experts - with no strings attached.

Just bring yourself, your e-ticket and your best smile and you’re good to go.

Each event has four objectives…

Meet awesome people

We have a wide range of business people that attend. From start-ups to those with 30 years experience - across a wide range of industries. Everyone that attends is under no obligation to attend (we have no memberships, or contracts) so they’re there purely to meet people like you.

Build long-lasting relationships

We believe in a 'people buy from people' philosophy. In a relaxed environment, everyone feels comfortable and the connections you make are less forced, and more genuine. You’ll get to know each person in more detail - and have a good time doing so.

Learn things without pitches

Each event is productive and valuable. And we want everyone to walk away having learned something new. Our speakers offer genuine value, without sneaky sales pitches. We want you to take what you learn and use it to benefit your business.

Have fun

And above all, we want you to have fun. Sometimes that’s easier with a drink in your hand (it also makes the terrible jokes slightly more tolerable…). Our networking events are all about you, your passions and your business success.

What’s happening this month?

Our speaker for this event is the powerhouse that is Mandie Holgate! Her talk is called "How to Sell in 60 seconds."

Attention spans are shorter than ever. AI, tech and digital noise are changing how people think, decide and buy. Learn how to capture attention and build trust in 60 seconds.

Spot the habits holding you back.
Discover how to build reputation and brand fast.
Avoid the five mistakes that K*ll buyer interest.
Turn one minute into a month of marketing.

Mandie’s no-nonsense style will motivate, train and energise you in minutes.

Pitching into 2026 just got easier.
