Introducing ON:Occasion, the network for the events community brought to you by The Occasionall Group. To celebrate the launch of our new staffing agency, Occasionall Staff, The Occasionall Group have launched an in-person networking series to bring together all events people around the UK. In addition to our existing staff, we will be extending the invite to any clients, freelancers, academics, events lovers, and anyone else who is looking to meet new faces within the industry.

20/20 Club hosts various B2B speed networking events in a calendar year, each uniquely headlined with a different event theme which consequently brings together like-minded individuals from both sides of the buyer-supplier fence. All buyers and suppliers are targeted and qualified to ensure they fit in with the specific 20/20 event and its theme (eg: 20/20 ‘Christmas Parties’). Many multi-faceted suppliers choose to invest in securing table stands at a selection of 20/20 Club events because of the comparative cost and many different buyers that they’ll meet.

We finish off this year's 20/20 series of speed networking events with an essential calendar date for all Conference organisers and a banger of an occasion at The 02's most exciting venue, Toca Social. Set yourself up for a stress-free 2025 by joining us for fantastic half-day of speed networking with the greatest array of A-list venues (over 60 locations represented by the 20 exhibitors), incredible hospitality and catering, plus games in the unique football simulators. Most significantly, you'll establish the connections during the speed networking that make the difference between losing your mind over event dates/rates and striding through the event jungle each day like event royalty. 4 weeks work done in 4 hours! (note: travel by train from outside London is subsidised up to £100)

The Sustainable Events Show is an oasis of calm for those event buyers looking for solutions to their needs […]
