We would like to invite Retailers, Brands, Agencies and Suppliers to join us for informal networking drinks on the first day of the VM & Display Show.

Since its launch in 2019, the London Networking Evening has developed into a well-established annual fixture for retail professionals, taking place close to the Business Design Centre following the opening day of the VM & Display Show. Creative Connections is designed to bring together the retail design community, creating space for meaningful conversation, collaboration and the exchange of ideas across disciplines.

With music, refreshments and light food, the informal setting supports relaxed but purposeful networking. The event reaches capacity each year, so early booking is strongly advised.

Located in the heart of Islington, the Bubba Oasis rooftop venue is an ideal spot for post-show networking, allowing attendees to transition seamlessly from the day's exhibitions and presentations to an evening of informal conversation and relaxation.

Hosted by the Creative Retail Awards and the Creative Interior Awards in association with the SDEA.
