About Get Reconnected...
Our Get Reconnected tech business networking events have been running for almost a year. We created these events as a relaxed space for members of the tech community to come together, catch up and reconnect over a few drinks with some good food. No sales tactics or business referrals, just casual business networking for technical and business professionals – whether that be the data centre space, telecoms, infrastructure, cloud, software, or more.
We really encourage our guests to use these events to engage and collaborate with like-minded individuals, and we’ve really seen the momentum build over the past year with over 100 delegates registered to our last event in February. These events are proving to be a great opportunity for the tech community to come together to discuss everything from the latest trends and innovations to business challenges and how we can all work together to make the tech industry even stronger.
We’re attracting some great sponsors too, with Sudlows and Keysource preceding LINX. If you’re interested in sponsoring one of our future networking events, get in touch.
