OutNetworking: OutBritain x Lumiere London
Kick off the New Year the right way by coming together, making meaningful connections, and toasting to a bright future ahead.
Join us for an OutBritain in-person networking event, delivered in collaboration with Lumiere London- specialists in hosting beautifully curated, design-led events and experiences. We will be meeting at the Embassy, 11 Grosvenor Place, London; the perfect setting to connect, collaborate, and celebrate what’s to come with LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who truly get it.
This Pride in Services event brings together remarkable LGBTQ+ founders to share their journeys, spark connection, and inspire new opportunities for growth and collaboration as we look ahead to 2026.
What to expect on Wednesday at Lumiere
Join us for an evening of relaxed, high-energy LGBTQ+ professional networking in one of London’s most beautiful event spaces — proudly hosted by our headline sponsors Lumiere and Madame F.
🕡 Doors open at 6:30pm
You’ll receive a complimentary drink token on arrival, redeemable for wine or beer.
Soft drinks, tea and coffee will also be available.
Please note: no food will be served at this event.
🗣 7:15pm — Fast intros
We’ll do a quick round-the-room hello — who you are and what you do. Just a few seconds each to break the ice and get the conversations flowing.
🎤 7:30pm — Community panel (20 mins)
A short, inspiring conversation led by Philip Ertl, with speakers:
Philipp Ertl, Ertl Design & Branding Agency
Joel Featherman, Bespoke Food
Bobbi Pickard, CEO, Trans in the City
Stephan Trockle, Lumiere London
🍷 Additional drinks for purchase
Beer (£5) and wine (£6) will be available to buy, with a portion of proceeds going to Trans in the City — so every sip supports the community.
Come for the connections. Stay for the conversations. Leave with new contacts and fresh energy.
🌈 Why join? Because business is better when everyone has a seat at the table. Because you deserve to network in a space that’s inclusive, inspiring, and safe. And because the LGBTQ+ business community is one of the most dynamic, creative, and resilient in the UK — and it’s growing stronger every day.
