MKC TV Network Nights is now officially a regular monthly fixture!

You asked when the next one was. Here it is.

The secret is officially out — MKC TV Network Nights is now a MONTHLY fixture!

Following the incredible demand and electric atmosphere of our launch night, we are thrilled to announce that we are returning to Unity Place, Milton Keynes on the second Thursday of every single month.

That means our next date is locked, loaded, and the booking page is officially LIVE! Thursday, 8th October 2026 Following the fantastic response to the launch of MKC TV Network Nights, we're back — by popular demand.

Our first Network Night brought together an incredible mix of businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals, creators, community leaders and decision-makers. The atmosphere was fantastic. The room was buzzing. New introductions were made, conversations became connections, and before the evening was even over, people were already asking us: “When's the next one?” Well… this is it.

If you were at the launch, you'll know exactly why people want to come back.

And if you missed it? DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

NOT JUST ANOTHER NETWORKING EVENT

We created MKC TV Network Nights because we wanted something different. No pressure to deliver the perfect 60-second pitch. No spending the entire evening talking to the same people you already know. And no collecting a pile of business cards that never see daylight again.

This is about real people, real conversations and real opportunities. Meet business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, creators and decision-makers.

Discover businesses you didn't know existed. Make introductions. Share ideas. Start conversations. Because sometimes one conversation is all it takes.

One introduction can lead to a new client.A collaboration.A business opportunity. A new idea. Or something you didn't even know you were looking for. You just have to be in the room.

YOUR HOST — DEBBIE LEWIS

Guiding us through the evening will be Debbie Lewis, a familiar and highly respected face within the Milton Keynes business community.

An experienced speaker, panel chair and business-community connector,

Debbie brings energy, warmth and a genuine passion for bringing people together. And that's exactly what Network Nights is about. Great people. Great conversations. And creating the opportunity for something to happen.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER — FREDDIE GUILMARD

We're delighted to announce Freddie Guilmard as one of our keynote speakers. From military officer to entrepreneur and leadership futurist,
