From March 2025 we'll be re-opening our exclusive North West MPX Online Networking Hub - A bonus layer of networking capabilities and opportunities, exclusive to North West MPX Sponsors and Registered attendees.
2024 was the first year the networking hub was open and we are looking forward to developing this space further.
Not unlike a social media platform, the hub will provide options to upload a profile photo, business details, networking statement, links and contact information.
As sponsors and attendees arrive at the North West MPX, they'll be issued with a lanyard featuring a unique QR code which will be linked up to their profile on the hub.
