Sometimes we open this up to other professionals during more relaxed and informal social events, but please check the criteria for each event as this will be listed on the respective event pages.
Email michael@thehouselondon.com if you're unsure as we know some non-agency leaders bring a wealth of previous experience which the community can benefit from.
