We're back! After the great success of our pre-Christmas meet-up we are back with our first networking event of 2023.

We are once again at the wonderful Arch13 on Lionel Street., and tickets are free you can get them from this little link here link.outsavvy.com/mar2

We just ask that you buy a drink or two from the bar. The event is on 1st March (St. David's Day) and we kick off at 6 pm.

29/11/2022

Our final meet-up of the year, and we have listened and are trying something a little different. The event is free to attend and ask that you pay as you go for your own drinks and nibbles at the bar, we know that times are financially challenging and in the run-up to Christmas, they can be even more so.
Will be great to see you all again, and don't forget your business cards for exchange and a little prize draw.

Next Thursday (26th May) will be our first QBLN LGBTQ+ Business Networking Event and we are SO EXCITED!!

We're down to our last 10 tickets, so if you'd like to come along and join us for a glass of wine (or soft drink) and some nibbles at the amazing Arch13 wine bar in Birmingham then grab your ticket at https://qbln.co.uk and don't forget your business cards!

We're really looking forward to meeting you all and learning about all the LGBTQ+ businesses, startups, freelancers and entrepreneurs we've got right here in the West Midlands.

As pride season approaches, wouldn't it be nice to work with an actual LGBTQ+ person and keep those pink pounds in our own community rather than buying an LGBT sandwich from a well known high street retailer? - get to know your peers and lets build a strong network of business professionals together.

If you could redesign business networking from the ground up to be more inclusive for LGBTQ+ people what changes would you make?
- No "Do you live with your husband/wife?" openers?
- No "She's got a cracking pair" comments?
- No "are you a boy or a girl or what?" comments? (thanks Bimini)
- No 6am stale pastries and over-brewed coffee? (ok maybe that's just me 😅)

Are you an LGBTQ+ business owner or decision-maker, looking to grow your professional network? 😁👍✨

Let's be honest, traditional business networking environments can tend to be pretty heteronormative. We wanted to create a space for LGBTQ+ business owners and decision-makers where they can express their authentic self, build strong professional links and friendships. So grab your business cards and join us at our next event! 🌈

📆 Thursday 26th May 2022, 6pm - 8pm.
