Our Young Professionals events (ages 18 - 30) are designed for those building their careers - whether you're just starting out, recently graduated, or already progressing in your field. It's a space to build real connections, share experiences, and grow a network of peers to navigate the professional world with.
This ever-growing event offers a relaxed, pressure-free space where connections come alive naturally and ideas are sparked.
Join us at The Water Rat Inn, Ironbridge, grab a drink from the bar and enjoy an evening of genuine networking with like-minded young professionals.
You will also hear from our guest speaker, James Cross, Co-Owner of Evolve, who will be sharing his journey and exploring what personal brand really means in today’s world.
With AI rapidly changing how we work, James believes your personal brand is the one thing that can never be replicated or replaced, making now one of the most important times to start building it with intention. His talk will explore how showing up consistently, both online and offline, creates a compounding effect on how others perceive you, what they say about you when you are not in the room, and why your unique story and experiences are your greatest asset.
Drawing on his experience working with brands and businesses on how they show up and tell their story, James will share first-hand insights into the power of owning your identity with confidence and clarity. He will also speak openly about his own journey of building a personal brand across LinkedIn, Instagram and through his podcast, sharing what is working, what he is still figuring out, and how attendees can apply these lessons to their own careers.
