  • 2025 Week #7: Must-attend London Networking Events This Week

    Welcome to Raise Your Profyle, a weekly round up of business and networking events in London brought to you by profylecard.com

    Hey there, London networkers! Welcome to Raise Your Profile, your essential guide to navigating the city's vibrant business event scene. I'm Chris, co-founder of profylecard.com, where we're all about empowering you to make meaningful connections.

    We believe networking is more than just collecting business cards – it's about building strategic relationships that fuel your career and business growth.

    Want to upgrade your networking game? Snag 20% off Profyle Card by just mentioning the podcast when placing your order.

    This week, we've curated a selection of hand-picked events designed to help you expand your network, enhance your brand, and achieve your professional goals. So, get ready to discover the best opportunities London has to offer.

    Just before we jump into this week's events, I want to share a couple of quick tips for making the most of those first encounters. Because let's face it, meeting someone new can be a little nerve-wracking, but it's also a huge opportunity.

    * Focus on genuine curiosity. People can spot a fake a mile away. Instead of just thinking about what you want to say, ask genuine questions about them. What are they working on? What are they passionate about? How can you help them? Active listening not only helps you learn about the other person, but it also makes them feel valued, which is key to building a strong connection.

    * Have a concise and compelling "elevator pitch" ready. This isn't about reciting your resume; it's about succinctly explaining what you do and why it matters. Think of it as a mini-story that captures their interest and makes them want to learn more. Practice it beforehand so it sounds natural and conversational, not robotic.

    These little things can make a big difference in how you're perceived. Now, with those tips in mind, let's dive into this week's top events!

  • 2025 Week #2: Top London Networking Events

    Welcome to Raise Your Profyle, a weekly round up of business and networking events in London brought to you by profylecard.com

    Profyle Card is the next generation digital business card that helps you to network, capture leads and promote your brand.

    The Raise Your Profyle newsletter and podcast will be released every Monday morning, so make sure to click the button below to subscribe to our mailing list. You can also find Raise Your Profyle on your podcast app of choice, or of course, right here on Substack!

    Building a network is one of the most powerful things you can do for your career or business and is something which can only be done over time and with perseverance - so getting yourself along to networking events and meeting new people within your field is a great way to build your network.

    Most of the events I’ll be listing are free events, but some will be paid. But remember, the cost of an event is not necessarily linked to the quality of the event - I’ve been to some amazing free events and some dreadful paid events.

    And finally, neither myself nor Profyle Card are sponsored by or associated with any of the events listed - so please do read more to find out if they are right for you.
