Build Connections That Shape Your Event Career
We've spent years watching talented professionals struggle because they didn't know the right people. Your skills matter, but relationships open doors. Learn to network authentically in the event industry and create opportunities that last beyond business cards.
Discover Our Approach
Networking Isn't About Collecting Contacts
Most people walk into industry events with a stack of business cards and leave with nothing but cluttered drawers. That's not networking—that's just paperwork.
Real networking happens when you understand what someone needs before they say it. When you follow up on Monday about that conversation you had on Thursday. When you connect two people who'd benefit from knowing each other, even if there's nothing in it for you.
We teach you how to spot opportunities in conversations, how to remember details that matter, and how to build relationships that actually help your career grow. Because the event industry runs on trust—and trust takes more than a handshake.
Our autumn 2025 programme focuses on practical relationship-building techniques used by successful event professionals across London's competitive market.
What You'll Actually Learn
Forget generic advice about "being yourself" or "staying positive." Here's what you'll walk away knowing.
Reading the Room
Event spaces have their own language. Who's actually making decisions? Who's approachable? Who should you talk to later? We'll teach you how to assess any event environment quickly so you're not wasting time on conversations that go nowhere.
Starting Conversations That Matter
Small talk is fine, but you need to move past weather chat. Learn how to ask questions that reveal what people actually care about.
Following Up Without Being Annoying
You met someone interesting. Now what? Most people either forget to follow up or send awkward LinkedIn messages that get ignored. We'll show you the timing, tone, and tactics that keep conversations alive without seeming desperate or pushy.
Building Your Reputation
People remember who helps them. We'll teach you how to become someone others want to know—not through manipulation, but through genuine value.
Why Traditional Networking Training Falls Short
Most courses treat networking like a script. Memorise these lines, follow these steps, smile at the right moments. But real conversations don't work that way.
People in the event industry can spot forced enthusiasm from across a room. They know when someone's working an agenda instead of having a genuine conversation. That's why our approach focuses on developing your natural ability to connect rather than teaching you to perform.
- Practice with real industry scenarios, not hypothetical situations
- Get honest feedback that helps you improve, not vague encouragement
- Learn from professionals who've built their careers through relationships
- Develop strategies that match your personality, not someone else's style
From Awkward to Confident
Networking used to feel exhausting. Now it's just part of how I work.
I used to dread industry events. Standing around trying to think of clever things to say while feeling like everyone else already knew each other. After working with Qoxen Tylux, I actually look forward to conferences. Not because I suddenly became extroverted, but because I learned how to have real conversations instead of performing. Last month, three separate opportunities came from people I'd met casually at events—all because I'd followed up properly and stayed genuine.
