Creative Retail Connections

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, the 14th of April. 

Bubba Oasis Rooftop Bar – just a 2-minute walk from the BDC

Free Entry | Advance Booking Required

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, underlining its continued relevance within the sector, and early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.

Located in the heart of Islington, the Bubba Oasis rooftop venue has the charm of an oasis-like retreat, making it an ideal spot for post-conference networking. Its proximity to the Business Design Centre, where the VM & Display Show takes place, allows attendees to seamlessly transition from the day's exhibitions and presentations to an evening of informal networking and relaxation. The Angel tube station is just a few minutes walk.
