2025 Week #49 - From AI Agents to Festive Finales: London's December Mix of Technical Deep Dives and Year-End Celebrations
Business and networking events • 1st - 7th December 2025
Welcome to Raise Your Profyle, a weekly round up of business and networking events in London brought to you by profylecard.com
Hello, and welcome to Week #49 of Raise Your Profyle. I’m Chris, co-founder of Profyle Card, and I’ve been on the hunt to find you the most interesting business and networking events happening in London over the next 7 days.
What happens when London’s tech ecosystem shifts from autumn acceleration to festive finale mode?
This week perfectly captures the capital’s ability to blend year-end celebrations with serious business building. From NatWest’s morning mixer to SeedLegals revealing what’s ahead for startups in 2026.
The technical lineup proves the city’s builders are more interested in shipping features than shipping presents. Anthropic explores Model Context Protocols, Granola hosts engineering recruitment, and Paul Adams unpacks the new GTM era. Add BehSci’s human-AI exploration and UCL’s environmental law lecture, and you have December disguised as any other high-velocity month.
Beyond code and contracts, this week showcases London’s inclusive innovation ecosystem. Female lawyers network at Linklaters, women in secured finance celebrate their year, and Canada House opens doors to North American AI innovation. In a city that treats networking like an extreme sport, even December becomes an opportunity to build something extraordinary.
