This is for the women* who are ready to make networking work for them. Often we don’t dare to ask for what we want, so during this breakfast we make it mandatory. 😉

In a 1,5 minute pitch you introduce yourself (who you are, what you do, what your goal is) and end with a question you want help with. For example, your question could be: “I’m looking for someone who can help me out with X” or “someone who can introduce me to X person”. Or perhaps there’s a business question that you’d like to brainstorm about after the pitches. Anything other than joining the lunch to get more clients is fine, this really is about helping and connecting, not selling.

A sking your question is practically putting your network to work, because only when you know what someone’s looking for you can see how you can help. And everyone has their own network and knowledge, so together we know more.

The goal of this Networking Lunch is to create a space where women* can share their knowledge, connections and build future relationships. Because we rise by lifting others!

Preparation for this event

Make sure you have your pitch and your help request / question ready for this event. The pitches will be timed, so make sure you keep it at 1,5 min max.

Everyone will receive a piece of paper with the names of all attendees, with enough space next to it to make notes during the pitches. After the pitches there’s time to connect about the questions asked and to share your insights.

Tickets

Members of Equals have free access to the lunch with their promocode (go to tickets and click on “promocode”). As a non-member you’re also welcome to join the lunch and see if our community and clubhouse might be interesting for you to join.

Networking Lunch

A Networking Brunch for ambitious women who are ready to make their network work for them.

This is for the women who are ready to make networking work for them. Often we don’t dare to ask for what we want or need, so during this brunch we make it mandatory. 😉

Why this event is for you:

- This is your opportunity to share your ask – a help request – with a new and diverse audience. You may just find the person who can help you out, or who knows the perfect person to do that.
- You will expand your network as you will actually meet all the attendees, instead of just a few.
- You may be able to help another woman out with your own expertise or network. And we rise by lifting others!

The concept of this event

We will start with food & drinks and connecting with other attendees while everyone gets in. It’s important to not do this on an empty stomach. 😉 After half an hour we’ll get everyone together and start with an introduction and continue with everyone’s pitches.

In a 1,5 minute pitch you will introduce yourself (who are you, what do you do) and end with phrasing your ask. It should be a question that people can possibly help you with as this event really is about helping and connecting (not selling your service/product to possible clients amongst the attendees).

Everyone will receive a document with a list of all the attendees’ names and space to take notes during the pitches. After the pitches it’s time to connect and network. By now you know who you may be able to help and who’s interesting to connect further with!

Preparation for this event

Make sure you have your pitch and your help request / question ready for this event. The pitches will be timed, so make sure you keep it at 1,5 min. In your pitch you can share:
- Who you are;
- What you do;
- Your ask (help request)

If you are struggling to formulate your question, here are some examples:
- “I’m looking for someone who can help me out with XX”
- “I’m looking for someone who can introduce me to XX person”
- A business question that you’d like to brainstorm about after the pitches.

Anything other than joining the lunch to get more clients is fine, this really is about helping and connecting, not selling.

Can’t make it after all?

There is a maximum amount of participants for this event and it’s quite popular. If you can’t make it after all, please let us know via members@equals.amsterdam, this way we can open your spot for someone else!

Tickets

- This event is open for non-members, you can get your ticket via the button. Members of Equals have free access to the event with their free member code (go to the community platform for the code).
