What is LinkedIn Local?

If you've never been to LinkedIn Local Hamilton, it's unlike any networking event you have been to before.

Gone are the cliché sales pitches and getting multiple business cards. It's basically just hanging out with friends at a party or bar... But all of those friends are professional and well educated.

LinkedIn Local Hamilton is about meeting new people and catching up with old friends in a relaxed environment.

Plus, beer and wine (and non-alcoholic beverages) are available free of charge - which makes it a little bit easier to mingle!

The idea behind the LinkedIn Local meet ups was to meet the person behind the LinkedIn profile. Taking relationships created online to real life and meet in person.

The events started in 2017 in a small Australian town called Coffs Harbour, where a local woman Anna asked her LinkedIn connections who wanted to meet up for coffee, and hash-tagged it #LinkedInLocal.

18 people turned up for coffee, but people reacted around the world, and the concept spread around the world to hundreds of cities.

We have been doing it in Hamilton for over three years now, this is our 14th event.

Over 2000 people have attend those LinkedIn Local Hamilton events.
