Get ahead of the festive rush.
A 121, a workshop on matching conversations, then drinks with a room of founders, consultants and business owners who'd like to meet you. All in King's Cross, before December takes over everyone's diary.
- Wednesday 18 November
- 3pm to 8pm
- Camino, King's Cross
Meet people before December gets busy.
By the middle of December every diary fills up with lunches, school plays and year-end deadlines.
The conversations you start in November are the ones you can pick up again in January, when everyone is thinking about the year ahead.
For founders, consultants and business owners who like meeting new people but can't stand working a room.
How it runs
121s
A quiet start. Sit down with one person, a drink in hand, and have a proper conversation before the room fills up. It might be with Clare herself, or with someone she thinks you should meet. Optional.
Workshop
How to build the connections you value at the event, through the power of matching conversations. Learn it at 4pm, then try it in the room at 5pm.
New this monthDrinks and mingling
Arrive any time from 5pm. Name badges on, drinks in hand and plenty of chat until 8pm. No stage and no pitching. If walking up to strangers isn't your thing, Clare will happily introduce you.
Where: Camino, 290-292 Pentonville Road, King's Cross, London N1 9NR
4pm, Wednesday 18 November
The power of matching conversations
At 4pm, James Pick shows how to build the connections you value at the event itself, through the power of matching conversations. Fewer random chats, more of the right ones.
Come early if you'd like a head start. Then the room opens at 5pm, and you can put it to work with a drink in your hand.
Snow Camp
Snow Camp is a charity that has been building young people's skills and confidence through snowsports since 2003. A £5 donation to Snow Camp would be really appreciated.
Dan Charlish from Snow Camp will be with us on the night, so do come and say hello.
Who you'll be standing next to
Founders, consultants, directors and business owners. Regulars who come every month, and first-timers who weren't sure they'd know anyone. Tell Clare who you'd like to meet and she'll do her best to make it happen.
What people say.
Events are professional yet fun and relaxing, a perfect environment to meet new people and say hello to friendly faces.
Mark White
Regional Development Manager, CAPCON
Clare is an exceptionally intuitive connector, she seeks introductions with a high likelihood of common ground, quality over quantity.

Good to know
I don't know anyone. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Everyone wears a name badge, and if you'd rather not walk up to strangers, Clare will introduce you to someone she thinks you'll get on with.
What happens at 3pm?
121s are a quiet start: two people, a drink and a proper conversation before the room opens up. Yours could be with Clare herself or with someone she thinks you should meet. They're optional, so if 3pm is too early, arrive for the workshop at 4pm.
What is the 4pm workshop?
James Pick of Konnexsion, a Professional Connector Matchmaker, shows how to build the connections you value at the event through the power of matching conversations. Then the room opens at 5pm and you can put it to work.
Will there be a sales pitch?
No. The 4pm workshop is about building connections through conversation, and from 5pm it's simply the room, a drink and good company.
Can I bring a guest?
Yes. A ticket for two is £60 plus VAT, which is £10 less than two singles. A colleague or a client you think should meet this crowd is a good choice.
Who will I meet?
Founders, consultants, directors and business owners, a mix of regulars and new faces. If there is someone in particular you'd like to meet, tell Clare and she'll do her best to introduce you.
Is there a Camino voucher?
Yes. Everyone who books gets a 15% off voucher for Camino, usable at any Camino in London.
Is there a charity partner?
Yes. This month we're also supporting Snow Camp, a charity that has been building young people's skills and confidence through snowsports since 2003. Tickets are £35 plus VAT, and a £5 donation to Snow Camp would be really appreciated. Dan Charlish from Snow Camp will be with us on the night, so do come and say hello.
When does it finish?
8pm, so you can be home at a sensible time.
See you on the 18th.
Wednesday 18 November at Camino in King's Cross: 121s from 3pm, the workshop at 4pm, then drinks and mingling from 5pm to 8pm. 290-292 Pentonville Road, London N1 9NR.
