FREE (and Low-cost) Networking Events

Dozens of FREE Events every week (and a couple of low-cost options too!)

Not all of these will appear in our main listings and calendar views, because of how the site works - so I’ve created a special group page here on NiS where I can list the latest no-fee networking opportunities (some of them free for a limited time only) and others at a crazy low price.

Check them out by clicking the NAME LINKS below to take advantage of 'no-fee networking' - it may not go on forever... but it's great while it lasts!

Worth noting - many business networking groups offer a FREE trial session for first time visitors - look for the offer when you're booking your ticket.

30-Minute LINKEDIN CLINIC... on Wednesday Afternoons from 2-2.30pm Keith Grover is running a FREE drop-in session sharing LinkedIn Tips'n'Tricks - all welcome, from novice to Ninja. It's 'knowledge networking' (not selling networking!) 

ENTERPRISE NATION - with NiS Member Jarmila Yu - offers locally focused online networking meetups FREE, plus  'Lunch and Learn' and teatime webinars Most Weekdays... EN also offers a ton of FREE resources including eBook and eLearning Business Accelerator videos in collaboration with Amazon - details here...

FIRST FRIDAY CAMBERLEY - NiS Member Jamie Morgan of Help Me Grow runs FREE in-person networking events in a pub at lunchtime on the first Friday (no surprises there!) of each month. Other free First Friday events are held in venues in Sussex. 

FSB FREE EVENTS... - the Federation of Small Businesses is running Regional events Every Weekday that are currently FREE to FSB Members and non-Members alike. You need to create a free account once only to attend all events, and the website isn't all that user-friendly - but hey, they're free and nationwide, so get in there!  The FSB are currently offering FREE Digital Marketing Course Videos here...

HAPPY NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT... and if 'crossing the Pond' appeals, this US-based organisation (the clue's in the spelling! :0) is running FREE events Every Weekday (55 per week,  open to all-comers) and extending its reach with new UK & Ireland, India, Canada and Worldwide Groups. Americans do it bigger!

LINKEDIN LOCAL... - these informal Monthly Evening get-togethers have become a global phenomenon and are usually FREE of charge. Before Lockdown we featured evening LI Locals run by NiS Members in Guildford, Weybridge and Kingston - see our regular listings for these now virtual events -  or search Eventbrite and brazenly gatecrash LiLs in Basingstoke, Exeter, Derby (and even Tampa Bay Florida last time we searched! :0)

----------------  LOW-COST OPTIONS --------------------------------------

PEPPERCORN NETWORKING... - NiS Member David Harris is offering £10 per month membership to his new weekly Thursday Afternoon SpeedNetworking Club (equivalent to just £2.50 per meeting) - and what's more, your first trial month is FREE!
