Navigating Networking

Navigating Networking: Creating a Comfortable and Inclusive Experience for All

As we move into autumn, many of us are ready to reconnect, meet new people, and make the most of fresh opportunities. But for some, networking can still feel awkward, overwhelming, or unproductive.

Whether you’re returning to the networking scene with energy or hesitation — or you’re an event organiser looking to create more inclusive experiences — this event is for you.

We’re delighted to welcome Pedro Marques as our guest speaker. Pedro is a solicitor with ADHD who brings a unique perspective on professional networking. He’ll share his experience of learning to navigate networking and explore how we can create environments that better support the diverse needs of neurodivergent professionals.

Pedro will share strategies he uses to engage with confidence and authenticity, and demonstrate how he harnesses his unique strengths to build meaningful connections — with insights that can benefit anyone looking to improve their networking experience.

Pedro's talk will lead into a panel-led discussion, taking inspiration from his insights to explore different perspectives and practical ways to make networking more comfortable, inclusive, and productive for all.

Here at Norfolk Network, we have 20 years of experience running business networking events. We’ve worked hard to create a welcoming and comfortable environment — and we know there’s always more to learn, so we’re excited to be hosting this event.
