Why Connect & Celebrate Exists

Because everyone deserves a Christmas party.

When you work for yourself, there isn't always a company Christmas party.

There's no HR team booking the venue. No office drinks. No annual dinner automatically appearing in the calendar.

And while you've spent the year building something of your own, you've probably spent plenty of time celebrating and pouring into everyone else — your clients, customers, collaborators, teams and communities.

This one is for you.

No organising.

No hosting.

No checking whether everyone else is having a good time.

Get dressed up and turn up. We'll take care of the rest.

Come alone or bring your person

Your plus one doesn't have to be a “plus one”.

Bring your co-founder.

Your only employee.

Your investor.

Your partner.

Your entrepreneur best friend.

Or the person who has listened to the voice notes, celebrated the wins, talked you through the difficult days and supported your entrepreneurial journey.

Simply purchase an additional ticket for them.

We invite you to invite your fellow founder, entrepreneur, solopreneur and freelancer friends.

And if you come alone? Perfect.

The room has been designed for people to actually meet.

The Connect & Collaborate Directory

The room doesn't disappear when the night ends.

The Christmas Social brings together founders, freelancers, solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, consultants and independent professionals.

After the evening, participating guests will receive access to the private Connect & Collaborate Directory.

So the person you met over a canapé doesn't have to remain someone you “meant to connect with”.

Use the directory to reconnect, collaborate, recommend each other, continue conversations or simply stay in touch.

How it works

When purchasing your ticket, you can choose to opt in or opt out of the directory. Only information you personally choose to provide during registration will appear.

NameBusiness / BrandWhat you doWebsiteInstagramLinkedInEmail — optional

You control what you provide.

Directory access is reciprocal

Opt in → be included + receive access.

Opt out → remain private + no directory access.

You're never automatically opted in. You'll be asked clearly at checkout.

People building something of their own

This ISN'T traditional networking.

There are no speed-networking rounds or forced introductions.

It's a Christmas party first.

The difference is that the room happens to be filled with interesting people building things of their own.

We invite you to invite your fellow founder, entrepreneur, solopreneur and freelancer friends.
