Meet your LinkedIn connections from the Midlands (and beyond) in real life to network, build relationships and make friends.

Welcome to LinkedIn Local Birmingham!

Midlands-based marketing specialists Marianne Avery (Marianne Avery Consultancy) and Gus Bhandal (The M Guru) co-host this twice-annual gathering of small-business owners, solopreneurs and LinkedIn connections.

There's no agenda, no guest speakers, no sixty-second introductions - just a few hours of chatting and getting to know each other - maybe continuing relationships or building new ones.

The details:

Date: Friday 25th September 2026

Location: An exclusive private room at the Cosy Club, Bennetts Hill, Birmingham - it's a four-minute walk from New Street station.

Cost: £20 per person, which includes a drink on arrival.

Time: 11:30am-2:30pm

Please note: there will not be any food included, but some of us will be hanging around for a late lunch in the restaurant downstairs afterwards (everyone welcome - so stick an extra couple of hours in your diary if you're free).

Please join the LinkedIn group here: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12707469/

We look forward to seeing you there!

Notes:

The only pre-requisites are that you have a LinkedIn profile and a good heart. No d*cks allowed.

This is a networking event simply to meet your fellow LinkedIn connections.

This is the first LinkedIn Local Birmingham, although the ninth event in the series formerly known as the SMM Meet Up.

Refunds are available up to 14 days before the event, and will be minus the Eventbrite ticket fees applicable at the time of refund (approx. 20%). As we have venue and marketing costs to cover, there will be no refunds within 14 days of the event.
