Meetup often has networking events published on it, these are probably a better bet than a trade show.
If you're in Glasgow then the last Friday of every month sees a networking session at Citizen M for a couple of hours.

Join your local chamber of commerce, they should have loads of diff types of networking events (mine does) so you can take your pick.

The only point in going to tradeshows is if you have meetings lined up in the private areas and want to meet lots of people in you professional sphere in one place and at one date. The stands are just there because competitors have one.
That said, full marks to ETAS for bringing a Winnebago full of Cocktail Mariachis to EW last week. Not sure I made many contacts who would like to see me again though.

If you are a bum on seat PM or the like I'd say you'll have more luck going out on the piss and frequenting the local strip joint at a weekend to be honest.
If you need leads for some other reason or work more like a proper consultant then these events might be useful. As bum on seat type I only find the events useful for collecting free stationary and bags nowadays.
Check the IPSE website and see what event's they've got running. Networking amongst your peers is going to be more useful that clients IMO.Last edited by northernladuk; 11 April 2018, 14:16.

So in the hope of drumming up some new business/leads I am looking at attending some networking events/exhibitions etc in London.
Anyone know of any particularly good ones for the IT/PM crowd.
The Business Show 2018 is coming next month. Has anyone been?Tags: None
