🎯 BOOM Networking – London | NQ64 Arcade | Charity Special | July 2025

🎮 Arcade games. 💛 A life-saving cause. 🤝 Serious networking.

We’re switching up your typical after-work networking – no lanyards, no pitches, no BS. Just real talk, real people, and a seriously special cause we’re backing 100%.

We’re taking over NQ64 Arcade Bar in Shoreditch for a night of high-energy networking, light bites, and retro gaming – all to help raise funds for the OLLIE Foundation, a brilliant charity working to prevent youth suicide.

One of our most tenacious BOOMers, Rosie Lees, is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness and money for this vital cause – and we’re throwing our support behind her the best way we know how: a buzzing BOOM event with purpose.

🌟 What’s Happening?

• 🍹 Welcome drink (boozy or zero-proof)

• 🍴 Light bites, on us

• 🧾 Curated guest list (emailed 48 hours ahead)

• 🎯 50+ business leaders from across London

• 🕹️ Retro arcade games & a social, zero-pitch setting

• 🫶 Plus, an opportunity to make a tangible difference

💡 What Makes This Different?

BOOM isn’t just networking. It’s a movement. Our community is made up of those who don’t wait to be asked – they step up, show up, and lift others while they climb (or in Rosie’s case, while she climbs a mountain).

Expect genuine conversations, a little nostalgia, and a lot of great people.

🧑‍💼 Who Comes to BOOM?

You’ll find people from industries like:

• Legal, Accounting, Finance, HR, IT & Tech

• Marketing, Branding, Content & Media
