networking event:

... the occurrence of networking at a given time and place. An event happens when when two people get together and make an attempt to find mutual areas of interest which might lead to the development of working relationships. On the other hand, an event of business networking may be described as a group gathering organized to bring resource and service providers together with those who are likely to need what they have to offer. An example of an organized event are the after-hours gatherings of members of chambers of commerce which are as much recognized for their networking opportunities as they are for socializing. Most associations regularly organize networking events around their business meetings as a basic effort to keep members interested which leads to them being better able to sustain themselves.
