A networking event for small businesses and freelancers to meet in real life to network, build relationships and make friends.

Welcome to the SMM Meet Up!

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 professionals.

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 19th March 2027

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

Cost: Earlybird price of £20 per person (which includes a drink on arrival) until 31st December (£25 thereafter).

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).

We look forward to seeing you there!

Notes:

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

This is a networking event simply to meet your fellow business professionals and make new connections.

This is the tenth (and final) event in the series known as the SMM Meet Up (and briefly known as LinkedIn Local Birmingham).

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.
