About the event
Mark your calendar for an evening of connections and community! Join us at 'The Common Room' on 27th February 2026, where you meet those with shared experiences. An evening where alumni from UK universities discuss their journeys, what they are building and learning.
We believe that the best opportunities come from real connections made in spaces where being yourself is truly appreciated. Good connections don’t feel forced, they start as a simple conversation and turn into something more. At The Common Room, you meet people naturally, without the pressure to pitch yourself. Sometimes it turns into a collaboration, sometimes into a friendship, sometimes just a story that stays with you. But almost every time, you walk out having met someone you’re glad you did.
Join us for an unforgettable evening, to learn, to share your ideas, or just to meet interesting people. It is the kind of place where you feel belonged.
