Where to find networking event venues

The best way to find networking event venues is by searching Peerspace. As the largest platform of its kind, Peerspace's listings for unique networking event venues include spaces that are far more original and distinctive than those of your average sleepy networking mixer. Modern networking event venues can include rooftop gathering spaces, conference rooms at boutique hotels, and hip, artistic gallery spaces. You can narrow your search results by particular amenities, too, such as finding networking event venues that contain a bar or projection screen.

What happens at a networking event?

Networking events are gatherings where professionals can get together and make connections. Usually, networking events are specific to a particular industry or geographical location. What happens at a networking event can vary from event to event—some are unstructured and casual, where professionals can simply have some refreshments and socialize. Others may have a more formal itinerary, including workshops or lectures. If you're hosting a networking event, try to find a sweet spot. Give attendees the freedom to relax and mingle in your amazing networking event venue, but do include some activities that help spur on connection-building.

How to find a networking event planning checklist

For finding a networking event planning checklist, we recommend using Peerspace's blog. If you search the web, you'll find additional options, though many do require a purchase. Many of the networking event checklists available on the Internet are distributed by professional trade organizations, and those are generally quite useful. Finally, check on social media platforms like Pinterest and Facebook, as event planners sometimes share their personal templates on their websites.

How to host a networking event

Hosting a networking event is a great way to build valuable connections, as well as establish yourself as a community leader. Begin by securing a creative networking event space that helps foster an upbeat, innovative atmosphere. Ideally, participants should feel excited the minute they walk through the door like they've stepped into a gathering of the business community "in crowd." Do welcome your guests with a formal introduction, and include some light activities that encourage attendees to socialize. Avoid big networking event mistakes like failing to facilitate mingling or imposing overly lengthy lectures and speeches that detract from actually making connections.
