B2B Networking Meetings

Conversations are key

Networking is key to building a business, but you need opportunities to have meaningful conversations to make it really work.

Our consultancy – The Marketing Matrix – started when we met for coffee after a networking meeting in 2012, and we’re proud to have built a business together as a result of that chance meeting!

The Corporate Escape Club offers B2B business owners a new way to support one another and grow their businesses.

I attended my first meeting last Thursday and found it to be great. It was really relaxed, with nice people and an interesting format. You were first given tips on networking and then had 4 or 5 sessions lasting around 12 minutes each to get to know some other people. I will be attending again! Thank you.

My first time at the live event. It was exceptionally well run and very good professional advice given to all attendees. Also met with some interesting people that meant we could probably help each other to grow our businesses, Thoroughly recommended.

Networking at The Corporate Escape Club is like no other networking I've attended in the past! I enjoy attending the monthly meetings, knowing that I'll be greeted with friendly faces and a relaxed environment. I always come away with either a new connection or a new business lead. I highly recommend!

I've attended a couple of the in-person Corporate Escape Club networking meetings organised by Emma and Anneve and am so pleased to have found this networking group! There's a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the sessions are well-organised and I've met some great contacts. I will definitely be returning and would recommend to any other B2B consultants.

How do meetings work?

Our aim is to help you create and grow your business by meeting a community of like-minded peers, curious consultants and subject-matter experts interested in:

Having meaningful, 1:1, business-focused conversations
Exploring opportunities for collaborations and cross referrals
Making high-quality, relevant connections
Gaining 24-carat marketing and business growth tips

This isn’t networking where you give a 60-second pitch.

It’s not a training workshop either (although you’ll certainly learn something every time!) It’s a way to meet and be introduced to like-minded corporate escapees on the same journey as you.

1:1 introductions

The focus of The Corporate Escape Club meetings is on spending time talking 1:1, building relationships and business friendships.

At our meetings you’ll get to know people who support each other as collaborators, referrers, business buddies, associates and clients.

We take the time to introduce you to fellow escapees in a series of 12 minute, 1:1 conversations so you can have a proper chat and get to know each other.

We run local meetings, in-person at our beautiful Boathouse, by the river in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.

You are welcome to come along as a visitor on up to two occasions to see if the Club is for you – your booking deposit will be fully refunded on attendance. After that, we’ll invite you to apply for Membership, or you can choose to continue to visit as a guest at £48 inc VAT per meeting.

The fee is refunded straight back to you once you’ve attended the meeting.

There’s no charge for the first two in-person meetings.

From your third in-person meeting, you can either choose to join the Corporate Escape Club – in which case your meeting deposit will always be refunded on attendance, or pay the meeting fee.
