Bumble, the female-first connection platform where over 23 million users come together for love, friendship and now networking, has announced the highly anticipated launch of Bumble Bizz. Bumble’s fresh take on networking, with an emphasis on opportunity over job hunting, is the first to bring the “swiping” and “women first” experience to professional connecting.

Bumble will takeover Brown Hart Gardens, just off Oxford Street, to curate a series of live panels, wellness classes , workshops with some of the most impressive women in business. The space will also offer respite and immersive experiences throughout the two days.
