Frequently asked questions

The Networker Hub is a UK platform for discovering networking meetings, exhibitions, conferences, and business opportunities. Members can search and book; organisers can list events and reach new audiences.

Use Browse events in the top navigation or visit the events listing at /events/. You can filter by type, date, industry, and location, and use map view on supported pages.

No — browsing is completely free. You can explore events and business opportunities without signing in. You only need a free account when you want to buy a ticket or enquire about a business opportunity. Sign-up takes about 2 minutes.

Create a free account first, then open an event from the listing page, choose your ticket type, and complete secure Stripe checkout. You can add guest names at checkout and view bookings in My tickets.

Browse opportunities for free at /opportunities/. When you find one you are interested in, sign in or create a free account to send a direct enquiry to the lister from the opportunity page.

Sign in, claim your organiser page if prompted, then open the organiser dashboard at /organiser/ to create events and manage attendees. Your networking group may already be listed — search the organiser directory on /events/ and claim the page linked to your email.

Listings are managed in the events database and updated by organisers and the Networker Hub team. Dates, venues, and prices on each event page are the source of truth for that event.

The Networker Hub is operated by The Networker Group Ltd (Company No. 15252227, VAT No. 454 4092 94), co-founded by Rosie and Catherine (Pip).

Hubert is the business butler and concierge on The Networker Hub. He helps visitors find events and business opportunities, explains how tickets and enquiries work, and guides organisers to the right tools. Chat with Hubert on the contact page or via the floating assistant on public pages.

Yes — browsing events and business opportunities is completely free with no sign-in required. You only pay when you purchase an event ticket at the price shown by the organiser.

Go to /login.html and use the password reset link. Enter your email and follow the instructions. If you are still stuck, email hello@the-networker.co.uk from the address on your account.

Check your spam or junk folder and confirm your account email is correct. Your tickets also appear in My tickets at /account/. If you still cannot find your booking, email hello@the-networker.co.uk with the event name and email address used at checkout.

Tickets are generally non-transferable without the organiser's consent. Contact the organiser via the event listing page to ask. For help, email hello@the-networker.co.uk with your order reference.

If an organiser cancels, you should receive a full refund of the ticket price paid, including mandatory booking fees shown at checkout, typically within 14 days via Stripe to your original payment method.

Yes — many events on the hub are free to attend. Browse /events/ and check each event page for pricing. Some free events still require registration or a free account to complete sign-up.

Organisers use the dashboard at /organiser/. Platform and payment processing fees apply as shown in your dashboard and Stripe onboarding. Email hello@the-networker.co.uk for onboarding and fee details for your group.

Public browse only shows events that are Published (not Draft), Approved, and linked to a published organiser profile. Complete tickets, refund policy, and publish in /organiser/. Email hello@the-networker.co.uk with the event title if it is still missing.

Paid Sponsor Hub placements are available on event and opportunity pages — email sales@the-networker.co.uk. You can also list events or business opportunities to reach the network organically.

Sign in to /organiser/, open Events → Attendees, filter by event, and click Download attendees CSV.

Payouts are not instant. A 7-day settlement period applies after the event ends. Archive the event, then request a payout from the organiser dashboard when eligible. Stripe onboarding is required.

Attendees pay one booking fee at checkout (4.5% + 20p per ticket, shown before payment), which covers platform and payment processing. Organisers receive the full ticket price.

Co-founders Rosie and Pip believe the right room at the right time changes careers and companies. They built one trusted UK platform for events, organiser profiles, and business opportunities.
