2. What is peer networking?
The concept of Peer networking has been around for centuries and has been used by
some of the most powerful business people in the world and in history
• Peer networking uses the power of those you know and those in your sector
to engage in conversations and exchange ideas
• Through the exchange of conversations allow people to learn and develop
further and in addition to connecting and collaborating
Peer networking are generally held through regular events and meet ups

3. Peer networking Vs
Conventional networking
Conventional networking is the most popular and most recognisable form of
networking
• Typically free to attract everyone and anyone
• Not specific to industry or market
• General idea is to bring people together to exchange conversations around
what their business is and find people who they could add value too (rarely
vice versa)
• Attendees collect thousands of business cards, many of whom are no use to
them
Peer networking isn’t held as a public event
• These networking events are advertised specifically to the target markets
• Presented with people in your own sector

4. What is PeerMeetUp?
PeerMeetUp is a new and innovative approach to networking
• Every PeerMeetUp will have people from specific industries who will be
delivering workshop and training sessions for attendees to gain tailored market
knowledge
• Attendees will be able to meet key stake holders in their industry
• Saves time when meeting people by meeting the right people from the start
• Build your own network and reputation to your target audiences
• Gain and share valuable knowledge, experiences
• Opportunity to showcase your experience through workshops and raise your
profile
PeerMeetUp is about connecting and collaborating with the right people.

5. What will PeerMeetUp involve?
Monthly meet ups will consist of events based on topics which are needed by the
attendees.
• You will have the opportunity to network with key stake holders
PeerMeetUp will introduce a range of innovative tools to engage beyond the
hours you meet every month
• Slack is an online collaborative tool which we will be using to create discussions
which involve solving real problems through collaboration
• We will also be running a Whatsapp group
CPD – For some of our events you will be the opportunity to gain and record CPD
which will be certified by VerifiedCPD
• When we host our training sessions for certain PeerMeetups, we will let
attendees know how many CPD points they will gain if relevant
