Meeting format
12pm
Prompt start
12.10
Mikado
A structured, workshop-style event hosted by experts in marketing, networking and other communication disciplines.
Our hosts provide tips to improve our skills in their area of expertise and facilitate introductions and conversation within the group.
This session is designed to ensure you meet and talk to as many people as possible in the room.
Ten second round
Every person in the room is given the opportunity to introduce themselves and their business in ten seconds or less.
12.30
Impossible connections
This is an opportunity to ask for specific introductions, based on the concept of six degrees of separation, a familiar premise that states: anyone on the planet can be connected to anyone else in just six steps.
The theory, based on a story from 1929, assumes that we all know at least 44 people, and each of these people knows another 44 people, and in just six steps, through random acquaintances, everyone could be connected to 7.88 billion people – that is roughly how many people are living today!
So, through five other people we can be connected to Richard Branson, the King of England or even the President of the USA!
12.45
Drinks reception
An opportunity for informal networking during which members and guests can mingle, meet and catch up over a glass of wine or non-alcoholic drink.
13.00
Lunch
A more formal affair and always in a prestigious 5-star venue.
Members and guests are able to share advice and experiences at intimate tables of six or eight while enjoying a delicious three-course meal with wine.
For many members our lunches are the highlight of the month.
14.30
Speaker
Each meeting concludes with an invited, highly respected, keynote speaker.
The EAGB is known for the calibre of our speakers. Not only for the topics and the depth of knowledge they share but also for the opportunity this offers us to meet and speak to these highly informed experts.
15.15
Finish
Previous speakers
We have been fortunate to hear some of the most authoritative individuals in their field speak at our meetings.
There are networking groups and there are great networking groups. EAGB falls into the latter category. I received a warm welcome and the conversation was lively from the very first moment.
I was honoured to be giving the Mikado Session, a warm-up before the general networking, lunch and main speaker. It was great to talk to a willing audience of intelligent, senior professionals who were happy to share their thoughts, insights and contacts for the benefit of others in the room. I will certainly return.
