In a year where many questioned the value of events, networks and face-to-face connection, the TEAMNetwork experienced something quietly remarkable.
Markets shift. Confidence dips. Pipelines fluctuate. And for many founders and leaders, 2025 has required resilience, tough decisions and more energy than anyone really admits.
That’s why something interesting happened this year.
While many networks shrank or went quiet, the TEAMNetwork grew.
In 2024, 682 people attended TEAMRegional events.
In 2025, that number rose to 1,506.
Not because of flashy stages or big promises but because recruiters and business leaders chose to show up.
Real conversations, real outcomes
Across every region and every quarter, rooms were filled with people facing the same challenges. Leaders comparing notes. Recruiters sharing what’s actually working. Suppliers listen first, sell second.
These weren’t surface-level chats or quick exchanges of business cards. They were proper conversations; the kind that lead to new ideas, better decisions and real commercial outcomes.
For many attendees, those conversations turned into:
- New clients and partnerships
- Smarter systems and processes
- Fresh perspective when things felt heavy
- And in some cases, significant revenue that simply wouldn’t have happened in isolation
This is what a network should do, create space for honest discussion and practical support, not noise.
Why TEAM works
The TEAM Network works because it’s built on consistency and intent. It shows up in every region, every quarter, and creates the same environment each time: open, grounded and commercially relevant.
Behind the scenes, that means thousands of miles travelled, hundreds of recruitment founders and suppliers met, and an immeasurable amount of industry knowledge shared in the room.
It also means something harder to quantify trust.
Trust that when you walk into a TEAM room, you’ll leave with insight, clarity, and often a reminder that you’re not the only one dealing with the challenges in front of you.
Looking ahead
The Network exists because people like are willing to contribute, share and support others in the industry, and if you you are yet to join one, this is your invitation.
