About this event
If you work in and around BPM, this is the kind of evening that can shift your week from screen-bound updates to real conversation with people who actually understand the work. BPM Europe @ All Star Lanes Holborn brings the community together in central London for a relaxed, in-person meetup built around connection, exchange, and a good atmosphere. This is not a formal conference and it is not a high-pressure networking session. It is a social evening designed to make it easier to meet peers, swap perspectives, and spend time with people who care about the same space you do. About the Event BPM Europe @ All Star Lanes Holborn is a community-led networking and social meetup taking place in London on Wednesday, April 12 at 6:30 PM GMT+1. The setting matters here: instead of a lecture hall or office boardroom, the event is hosted at All Star Lanes Holborn, giving the evening a more informal and approachable feel. The purpose of the event is simple: bring together people connected to the BPM community in Europe and create space for genuine conversations. Whether you are deeply embedded in the field or adjacent to it, this meetup gives you a place to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and have the kind of exchanges that are often more useful than a packed agenda of presentations. Because the event is tagged as community, networking, meetup, and social, you can expect the format to lean toward interaction over observation. That means less sitting quietly in rows and more talking, listening, introducing yourself, and following conversations where they lead. For many attendees, that is exactly the value: a chance to engage with people in a setting where ideas, experiences, and practical lessons can be shared naturally. The evening is built for relationship-building, not passive attendance. What to Expect Expect a casual but purposeful evening with time to arrive, settle in, and start conversations without needing a script. Events like this work best when people can move fluidly between short introductions, longer discussions, and informal social time, and the venue supports that kind of energy. You can likely expect the evening to revolve around a few core rhythms: Arrival and informal mingling from the start time onward Introductions and spontaneous conversations with people from different roles and backgrounds Community networking focused on shared interests, projects, challenges, and opportunities Social time in a lively venue where the tone stays relaxed and open Rather than a rigid schedule, the format is best thought of as a well-placed gathering. You may find yourself discussing current work, comparing approaches, hearing how others are solving similar problems, or simply making the kind of introduction that leads to a future collaboration. The location also adds something important. All Star Lanes Holborn is the kind of venue that lowers the barrier to conversation. People tend to relax faster, stay longer, and interact more naturally when the environment feels social rather than staged. Why Attend The biggest reason to attend is proximity to the right people in the right setting. In-person meetups create a different quality of interaction than email threads, chat groups, or scheduled calls. You get context, nuance, and chemistry in a way that is hard to replicate elsewhere. If you are looking to expand your network, this event gives you a more grounded path to do it. Instead of collecting names, you have the chance to build recognition and rapport. A short conversation in the right room can lead to a useful introduction, a fresh idea, or a relationship you continue well after the evening ends. There is also value in simply staying connected to the community. Even if you do not arrive with a concrete goal, attending helps you keep a pulse on what people are thinking about, where energy is building, and what conversations are shaping the space right now. You might leave with: New professional connections in the BPM and broader business community Useful perspective from peers working through similar questions A stronger sense of the community and where you fit within it Follow-up conversations worth continuing after the event A more personal connection to people you may otherwise only know online Practical Details This is an in-person event in London, United Kingdom, hosted at All Star Lanes Holborn. If you are based in London, it is an easy opportunity to step out after work and spend the evening with people you are unlikely to meet in the same way through purely digital channels. The event starts on Wednesday, April 12 at 6:30 PM GMT+1, which makes it well suited to an after-hours crowd. The timing suggests a smooth transition from the workday into a more social evening, so you can come directly from the office or plan the meetup as part of your evening in central London. A few useful things to keep in mind: It is in person, so plan your travel ahead of time The tone is social and community-driven, so a short self-introduction goes a long way You do not need a formal agenda to get value; the conversations are the point The venue setting supports a relaxed evening, so come ready to engage rather than just observe If you have been meaning to get back into the room with peers, collaborators, and new contacts, this is a strong reason to do it. BPM Europe @ All Star Lanes Holborn offers something simple and valuable: a well-timed gathering of the community in a place where conversation can actually happen.
