Leeds Business Social
"I had some brilliant conversations, met some really inspiring people, and already have some exciting follow-ups lined up for next week. There's something special about being in a room full of energy, ideas, and people who just get it."
Forget LinkedIN likes.
And you won’t get them anyway… The algorithm will throttle your content.
Real business happens face-to-face.
We all know this.
The Yorkshire Mafia Drinks Evening is where connections turn into opportunities.
No algorithms, no e-gatekeepers.
Just 300 business leaders, decision-makers, and people who get things done.
Why attend?
✅ Meet serious business people in a relaxed setting
✅ Expand your network without the awkward sales pitch
✅ Conversations that actually lead somewhere
This isn’t for spectators.
It’s for those who show up, connect, and make things happen.
