Join the MRS B2B Network & PIN for an Afternoon of Padel and Networking in Manchester!

We're delighted to be partnering with PIN (Padel Insights Network) for what promises to be a fantastic afternoon and evening of networking, friendly competition, and catching up with colleagues from across the research industry.

• Wednesday 25th November 2026
• Padel Event | 2:00pm - 4:00pm
• Pure Padel, 24 Dutton Street, Manchester

Whether you're a seasoned player or have never picked up a racket before, everyone is welcome. All equipment is provided, and there'll be medals and prizes up for grabs too.

This is a great opportunity to meet fellow researchers, build new connections, and have some fun away from the usual conference and meeting rooms.

Book your place on court here (£25+VAT per person)

MRS B2B Network Social | From 6:00pm

Once you've had a chance to freshen up, we'd love you to join us for our evening social at The Foundry Project, Manchester.

Our Manchester socials are a great way to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people working across the B2B research community in a relaxed setting.

Book your ticket for the evening social here (£25+VAT per person)

Whether you're joining us for the padel, the social, or both, we'd love to see you there.  A perfect combination of sport, networking and community.

Please note that if you wish to attend both events, you will need to book both events separately.

See you in Manchester!
