With the sun shining and the pitch glistening from the Focus Group Lounge, it was a brilliant setting for the latest Network My Club networking lunch in Brighton event at the Amex Stadium.

The room was once again full, with a sold out event of members, member guests and first-time visitors joining us for an afternoon of lunch, new connections, and building on existing ones.

There was a real spring-in-the-step throughout the room, helped no doubt by the glorious weather.

Here are the highlights between lots of open networking:

Highlighting a Year of Riven Associates Partnership

We heard from Chris Hill of Riven Associates, who marked the conclusion of their year-long title partnership of the networking events at the Amex Stadium.

Over the past 12 months, Chris and the wider Riven team have become a familiar and valued part of the event.

During their sponsorship, they used the platform to introduce different parts of the business, highlighting their client services team specifically at this event, and build meaningful relationships across the network.

We would like to thank Riven Associates for their fantastic support over the past year.

While their title sponsorship comes to a close, they are very much staying part of the Network My Club membership and are moving their partnership to events in other locations across the network.

Venue Updates from the Amex Stadium

Attendees also heard from Sophie Shepherd from the Amex Stadium team, who shared a number of exciting updates about what is coming up at the venue.

Including news of the new 1901 Pub, which is set to open later this year at the stadium.

Sophie also shared details of upcoming activity taking place on The Terrace, including:

  • England screening events

  • Bingo nights

  • A one-year anniversary celebration

These updates gave members a great insight into how the stadium continues to evolve as both a matchday and events destination in Brighton.
