SUMMARY:Young Chamber Networking Event
DESCRIPTION:Merton’s Young Chamber events are back!  \nAfter the success of our event in July\, we are excited to announce the next Young Chamber event will be taking place on 30th November at Wimbledon Quarter. \nJoin us for a festive filled evening at Wimbledon Quarter as we get exclusive access to their ice rink and surrounding food and beverage stalls. \nIt’s going to be one big ice breaker!… \nAfter COVID and the start of hybrid working\, many young professionals are still missing out on the social aspects of office life. We are producing these events to create an environment in which they can network and socialise with those of a similar age. \nWe know networking events can often be daunting for young professionals so we want to keep the age range at 18-35 yrs to create an atmosphere of like-minded individuals. \nCome and join us for an evening of drinks\, networking and ice skating! \nThis event is being sponsored by our Premier Members\, University of Roehampton and Wimbledon Quarter. \n
