For this Jubilee Connect Reception we shall be bringing both our Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire KuKu communities together to celebrate business and the community, toasting Her Majesty’s glorious 70 year’s of service and connecting away at the EMA Hilton Hotel, or as Paris herself might say, “sliving”.

Join us to connect with business owners and decision makers in a relaxed and effective way, with no pitches, no presentations and no push and delicious, complimentary hospitality courtesy of our host - Hilton East Midlands Airport.

This event is free if you are a first time visitor to KuKu Connect. If you have visited before and would like to attend please head over to www.kukuconnect.co.uk to join the KuKu Community.

About the venue

The East Midlands Airport (EMA) Hilton Hotel is much more boutique in its offer and surrounds than one might expect for a hotel part of a world-renowned brand.

Conrad Hilton who founded Hilton hotels, was not only a businessman, but a pioneer in hospitality, bringing high standards of customer service to the hotel industry over 100 years ago. Pina Coladas are also a Hilton invention.

The EMA Hilton Hotel has a boutique style, open coffee lounge which doubles as an eatery serving good and proper breakfasts and a light menu throughout the day. Once again behind the front door lies an area and style you just might not expect, which makes this Hilton Hotel something a little more special.

It has an enviable position, literally just off the M1, with its own exit lane at Junction 24A, so another great perk to this hotel is its location, making it a perfect central meeting place for business all over the UK.

Conferencing, training meetings, dinners, awards, right through to wedding parties and much more can all be catered for. Spa and leisure facilities come too for both those who wish to be leisure members and pop in for a spa and the gym, or for resident guests. A great start to any holiday if you are flying from the airport, or a great location for business, meetings and 1-1s with colleagues and clients.

What is a KuKu Connect Reception like?

KuKu Connect Receptions are relaxed and informal and may not be like the typical networking events you may have attended. Our ’no pitches, no presentations and no push’ approach gives you the opportunity to secure new business in a friendly and fun atmosphere whilst enjoying excellent, complimentary hospitality.

We are a very friendly community of business owners but if you are nervous or new to networking just speak to your hosts, Stephen or Philip who will look after you.
