B2B Mixer Edinburgh - 100% networking event - making referrals

B2B Mixer Edinburgh is back at O'Neills Edinburgh on Wednesday 13 January, part of its monthly run of networking events for local businesses. It's a 100% networking night built around making and receiving referrals among like-minded Edinburgh businesses, and it's free to get in.

What sets this one apart is what it leaves out. There are no speakers, no slide decks and no long opening sessions to sit through. The organisers strip away the usual fixtures of a business gathering to leave the room to focused conversation between business owners who are actively looking to refer work. The idea is that you spend your time talking to people rather than listening to a presentation.

By the time you head home, you should walk away with introductions to local decision-makers, a clear sense of who can refer whom, and the prospect of long-term referral relationships. It's a straightforward exchange: you find people who can send work your way, and you figure out who you can send work to in return.

The room is aimed at business owners, directors, consultants, freelancers, sales professionals and service providers. If that sounds like your crowd, you can book your place via Eventbrite. It runs at O'Neills Edinburgh, 9 Hunter Square, EH1 1QW, on Wednesday 13 January, with doors open from 17:00. Entry is free, though attendees are asked to buy a drink at the bar.
