About this event
Ready for a different kind of networking?
Welcome to Beyond the Pitch - a connection-led business networking morning for women who are done with surface-level small talk and ready to build genuine relationships that fuel both life and business.
This isn’t about selling. It’s about showing up.
Whether you're a coach, creative, founder, freelancer, or somewhere in between - if you value meaningful conversation, intentional collaboration, and community over competition, you belong in this space.
💫 What to Expect:
- 🤝 Connection-focused networking with likeminded women
- ✍️ Guided prompts to spark real conversation
- 🌱 A warm and welcoming space to share ideas, ask for support, and grow your network authentically
Who It's For:
- Women across industries who crave meaningful connection
- Business owners, creatives, freelancers, nonprofit leaders, and career pivoters
- Those tired of rooms that feel transactional - and ready to meet people who truly get it
Let’s go beyond the 60 seconds pitch - and build something real.
Frequently asked questions
Not at all. This space is for any woman who wants to connect more intentionally — whether you’re running your own business, working for an organisation, freelancing, or simply exploring what’s next. If you’re craving real conversations and authentic community, you’re welcome.
It’s both by design. The first half of the morning is focused on real, human-to-human connection so you can meet likeminded women and ease in without pressure. The second half shifts into intentional business networking - where you'll be invited to introduce your work and explore collaborations.
Yes, but not in a scary or formal way. In the second part of the session, there’ll be space to introduce yourself and share what you do. No hard selling, no rehearsed scripts - just honest conversation about your work, your vision, and what you might need support with.
Feel free to bring business cards or any resources you'd like to share during the networking portion. A notebook can be helpful too, but nothing is required. Come as you are.
Please note: this is a pay-your-own-way event. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase from the venue, and you're welcome to arrive early or stay after to keep conversations flowing.
Absolutely. Many women do - and you’ll be warmly welcomed into the space. The connection-first format is designed to make it easy to meet others without awkwardness.
Due to the limited nature of the event, tickets are non-refundable. If you can no longer attend, you're welcome to gift your ticket to a friend - just drop us a message with their name so we can welcome them properly.
