Forget everything you think you know about networking. This isn’t another awkward room shuffle or business card exchange with someone you’ll never speak to again. This is the reset button. The upgrade. The moment LinkedIn Local goes deeper.

Join us as Pip Carter flips the script on traditional networking and shows us how to connect in a way that’s bolder, braver, and way more human. If you’ve ever wanted your networking to feel more meaningful — and actually lead somewhere — don’t miss this.

What to Expect

This isn’t just networking — it’s a bold experiment in human connection.
We are disrupting the usual format too! (permission to get excited!!)

It’s part talk, part challenge, part reset-how-you-network.
You won’t just meet people. You’ll find your people.

About LinkedIn Local Tauranga

2.5 years ago, Leeann Bassett (Face Up Now) and Alana Swain (Your Business Club) joined forces to bring something different, something more inclusive, something more connective to Tauranga - all the warmth and engaging constructive conversation that we love LinkedIn for, with the warmth of in person connection. This has quickly become the favourite networking event in town where WHO you are matters more than WHAT you do.

Tickets will book out - and for the first time, we bring you this event without a sponsor to try a new approach, sparking even more connection through space for more conversation in the time we have together

We're excited to meet you - new and familiar folk are all warmly welcome to our LinkedIn local Tauranga community.
