NeβTwerking
until
Small Biz Babes deserve to celebrate ourselves LOUDLY. π πΌ Get tickets here >> https://www.eventbrite.com/e/netwerking-tickets-1339749449669?aff=oddtdtcreator Being your own boss comes with so many highs. We pick our hours, our clients, our Zoom outfits. We get to design our OWN version of freedom. But letβs be real. It can also be soooo lonely. We donβt get the built-in afterwork drinks. The βomg I had the worst meetingβ debriefs. The βletβs grab lunchβ crew. Thatβs where NeβTwerking comes in. This isnβt another dry networking event where the snacks are just sad hummus and youβre forced to share βwhere you want to be in 5 years timeβ. Itβs a room full of small biz babes who feel like youβve known them forever. A safe space where we can show up exactly as we are. Weβll dance, connect, and leave with a goodie bag full of treats, a whine in our waist, and a girlhood gang of new biz besties ready to hype us up. Whatβs Included β¨ Welcome drink (alc or non) on arrival β¨ Live DJ and entertainment β¨ POV NeβTwerking Challenge (aka: meet all the small biz babes) β¨ Live Twerk Session β¨ Β£10 food voucher to spend at BoxPark food stalls β¨ Really cute goodie bags with stickies and office supplies (fluffy pens, anyone?) And most importantly. A girlhood gang of small biz babes who just get it. About the Food Your ticket includes a Β£10 voucher to spend at any of the BoxPark food spots, and trust us, youβll want to use it. Whether youβre a fries-for-dinner girlie, a dirty burger babe or a vegan queen, BoxPark has something for every craving. Some of the iconic stalls you can choose from: π Nanny Billβs β legendary burgers, mac & cheese croquettes and loaded fries π― The Athenian β Greek souvlaki, halloumi fries and pita wraps π Slice Club β big New York-style pizza slices and garlic knots π₯ Eat Chay β plant-based Vietnamese bowls, bao and rice dishes π Rainbo β Japanese gyoza and rice bowls π― Shawarma Shack β stacked wraps packed with Middle Eastern goodness π Poptata β next-level gourmet loaded fries And loads more depending on what youβre feeling that day. There are plenty of gluten free, veggie and vegan options available too. Everyoneβs covered, babe. Food is orderable at 2pm when we all sit and enjoy lunch together, or youβre welcome to take yours home for later. BTW - This Is a Business Write-Off This event is a 100% tax-deductible business expense. Technically, itβs a professional development day. Save your ticket receipt to your accounting software and claim that joy back on your taxes. Hereβs what the babes are saying: βWhere do I start!? The vibes, the people, the aesthetic, the music! I really loved that it didn't feel awkward or weird (like networking usually does) and I felt very comfortable being myself. I liked that it had a structure to it that was shared at the beginning and the networking was broken up with the twerking workshop and dancing - I especially appreciated this as someone with ADHD because I have a lot of nervous and exciteable energy at these kind of events and find them sensory-wise a bit overwhelming so usually get tired very quickly and have to leave. But because we had dance breaks it served as an active rest and I felt refreshed and energised to keep goingβ - Rachel W β βNe'twerking is the best networking event i have been to by a mile (and I've been to alot!) Everyone is just authentically themselves, it's so much fun and the conversations are so inspiring!β - Freya β βI love how easy it is to talk to people and get to know one another despite being complete strangers! The room was filled with people who wanted each other to win and celebrate each other. The vibe was immaculate!β - Sara Meet Your Host Hey, Iβm Jess. (@growwithjessbruno on IG) When I first started my business, I got suckered into a βnetworkingβ event that turned out to be a multilevel marketing nightmare. They promised me connections, collabs, clients galore. What I got was pressure to bring more people and cough up a four-figure joining fee. It left me feeling like I had to mute my big, colourful self just to fit in. π But what if networking didnβt have to feel beige? ππ What if we could put a little Twerk in Network? Thatβs exactly why I created NeβTwerking. A vibrant, joyful space for small biz girls, gays and theys to hype each other up and actually have FUN. Running Order 11:00am β Doors Open + Welcome Drinks 11:30am β NeβTwerking Games BEGIN! 12:30pm β Live Twerk Session 1:00β2:00pm β Party Time: DJ, dancing, real connections 2:00β3:00pm β Food Time: claim your voucher and eat together at BoxPark Formal running time wraps at 3pm β but youβre welcome to hang out and vibe for longer. FAQs Do I need to bring anything? Just your fine self, maybe some business cards (or a QR code) if youβve got them. Weβve got the vibes, drinks, food vouchers and all the extras sorted. Whatβs the dress code? Itβs giving main character energy. Wear something you can dance in, but more importantly, something that makes you feel powerful, comfy, and like the best version of yourself. Wanna wear your brand colours? Do it. Statement earrings? Yes please. Tracksuit and lipgloss? Iconic. Is this event right for me? If you run a small biz, a side hustle or something creativeβ¦ and you wanna meet some really cool people? Then yes. Why do you say βGirls, Gays and Theysβ? NeβTwerking is a space built to be safe and joyful for women, LGBTQIA+ babes, and anyone whoβs ever felt like the odd one out in traditional business spaces. Because twerking is part of the fun (and itβs physical, dance-y and personal), weβre intentional about who we invite into the room. You deserve to dance, laugh, and celebrate your body without feeling stared at or judged. If that sounds like your vibe, youβre welcome here. If not, respectfully, this might not be the event for you. What happens when I buy my ticket? Youβll get a confirmation email straight to your inbox (check junk just in case) and you can add a reminder to your calendar too! Whatβs the refund policy? Tickets are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled. If we sell out, youβre welcome to re-sell or pass your ticket to someone else.

Small Biz Babes ππ
Hey, Iβm Jess Brunoβ32, Pisces (Leo rising), and I literally started my business on the toilet. No, seriously. I have ulcerative colitis, and back in the pre-WFH days, my boss just couldnβt wrap his head around the idea that I was βtoo sickβ for a conventional 9-5 in marketing and events. So, in a fit of rage (and with 20p to my name), I quit, switched my personal Insta to a business account, and built my own marketing consultancy. Since then? Over 300 small biz babes served, my first six-figure year hit, and proof that I didnβt need a clueless boss to thrive. LOOK AT ME NOW, BEN. π€£ I love my business, but I missed clubbing. Except now, with my lilβ stoma bag, Iβm in bed by 9pm. So I created something newβan inclusive space where small business owners can swap business cards and shake some ass. Enter NeβTwerking. A trademarked day rave for small biz ownersβbecause your networking events should be as fun as your nights out used to be. And yes, itβs my guestsβ favourite business expense. Try explaining that to your accountant. π₯ Live DJ πΉ Drinks π Twerk class Two sold-out events in, with raving reviews, and even today, someone in this very group recognised me from NeβTwerking. Buzzing to be here, meet new people, and have some juicy convos! https://www.instagram.com/growwithjessbruno/
