Culture-Based Corporate Events, Networking Experiences & Team Wellbeing in London
Looking for a fresh, meaningful way to boost employee engagement, community building, or authentic networking?
Whether you’re planning a corporate wellbeing initiative, a team retreat, or a creative networking event, Nimi Socials offer a culturally rich alternative to typical corporate events.
We design art and culture-based experiences that help colleagues, founders, investors, HR leaders, professional networks, alumni associations, and community builders forge real relationships, moving beyond traditional networking, while also addressing common workplace challenges such as burnout, disconnection, and low engagement.
By turning routine gatherings into cultural experiences, Nimi helps teams build cohesion and morale, deepen relationships, and feel inspired — all in a way that’s authentic, not forced.

Black History Month Wellbeing Event
Case Study: London Stock Exchange Group — Black History Month Wellbeing Event
The Brief: The London Stock Exchange Group approached Nimi to co-create a meaningful wellbeing initiative in celebration of Black History Month. Partnering with their Black and Latino employee networks, the goal was to design a series of intimate, arts-based gatherings to foster cultural connection, inclusion, and reflection across the organisation.
Designed as part of LSEG’s broader employee engagement strategy, the experience balanced cultural celebration with moments of pause, discovery, and community — a refreshing alternative to traditional corporate wellbeing events.
Nimi Approach: We curated a three-part programme that blended art, culture, and connection, timed to coincide with London’s vibrant October cultural calendar, including Frieze and the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair.
🎨 Contemporary Art Fair Visit
A group outing to the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair at Somerset House, offering guided access to contemporary African artists and diasporic narratives through galleries and installations.
🥂 Private Gallery Social
A mid-month evening gathering with drinks and conversation, set within an independent gallery showcasing Black and Latino artists. The setting encouraged quiet connection and open reflection.
🧩 Family-Friendly Art Adventure
A weekend scavenger hunt through a museum district, designed for employees and their families. This light-touch experience invited cross-generational engagement with stories, symbolism, and play.
The Outcome: The series offered employees time and space to connect — not just with art, but with one another. It demonstrated how arts-based team building can support Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) goals, employee wellbeing, and a more inclusive, connected workforce.
Community and Networking Experience Offerings
For startups, scale-ups, alumni networks, professional communities, and industry networks seeking authentic collaboration and engagement.
- Professional networking events with a creative twist
- Culture-based networking and community-building socials
- Activities that inspire innovation and collaboration in cultural settings
Impact: Build deeper relationships, energised communities, and connected teams through collaborative and fun problem-solving.
Museum Escape Game
Case Study: Alma Angels x Founders
The Brief: Alma Angels wanted to create a networking experience for founders and funders that went beyond the typical pitch format, encouraging real collaboration, conversation, and connection.
Nimi Approach: We reimagined networking through an immersive escape room-style scavenger hunt at the National Portrait Gallery. Held in March around International Women’s Day, the game celebrated trailblazing women in history, blending strategy, discovery, and human connection in a playful, high-energy environment.
The Outcome: Let the attendees speak for themselves:
- ⭐ “The best start-up event I have been to in London 🚀”
- ⭐ “I wish all fundraising events were this fun and creative — it made real conversations possible.”
- ⭐ “Stellar organisation by your team at Nimi! Ready to do it again? 🤩”
- ⭐ “Loved connecting through such a fun and intentional activity!”
- ⭐ “An inspiring idea for networking events.”
