Nottingham - Powered Up Business Networking - October 2025

Come and join us for an evening of fun and making business connections.

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?

For this event, our speaker is the awesome Rachel Haith. Her talk is called "3 Things I Learnt Through My Breakdown"

This talk explores how pressure can turn into progress. It looks at the lessons hidden in setbacks and shows how a breakdown can lead to breakthroughs in business. Three simple ideas are shared that apply to leadership, growth, and building a more resilient mindset.
