Manchester Networking for People in Events
PIE Connects Manchester
Networking for Event Pros - Celebrating 2 years of The PIE Network!
PIE Connects is a global series of in-person meetups hosted by members of The PIE Network, and this is Manchester's edition.
🗓️ Thursday 23rd July
⏰ 2-4pm
📍Nomad Coffee
Join fellow event professionals for a relaxed morning of networking, real conversations, and new connections across the industry. Whether you work in production, operations, venues, agencies, or freelance, this is a space to meet people who get it.
Building a strong network around you can open doors to future opportunities, collaborations, referrals, and ideas you might not come across otherwise. This is about creating those connections in a natural, low-pressure way.
We’ll also have a light networking activity to help you break the ice and make it easy to connect with new people from the start.
No panels. No pressure. Just a great group of event professionals, good conversations, and a proper informal setting.
What to expect:
A relaxed networking afternoon with event professionals
A simple activity to help you connect easily with other
A reminder of how powerful your network can be for future opportunities

The vibe:
Come as you are, pay for what you drink and eat, and leave with new connections that could turn into your next opportunity.
