Yuup to host VR networking event for Future Faces members

Future Faces members are set to have a networking event that 's truly out of this world with virtual reality gaming at Hockley Social Club in the Jewellery Quarter.

The event will take place on Thursday 3 August from 6:30pm until 8:30pm and members will be greeted with a free drink on arrival.

Entertainment for the evening will be provided by local, family-owned VR gaming business Matrix VR and the event has been organised by experiences start-up Yuup.

Yuup is an experiences marketplace that offers small, local businesses a platform to host awesome things to do, unusual events, and hidden gems in the city. Yuup has joined in partnership with Greater Birmingham 's Chamber of Commerce to provide August 's Future Faces event, and they say it is set to be an exciting networking evening with a Yuup twist.

Yuup joined as a member of Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce in April 2022, just after launching in the city of Birmingham.

Yuup 's founder, Dominic Mills (pictured), said: “We 've been proud to partner with Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce since we launched Yuup in the city in summer 2021 and I 've been fortunate to see first-hand the positive impact that Future Faces has on so many young professionals as well as the wider Birmingham community.

“I 'm delighted Yuup has the opportunity to host Future Faces members for their August social, with the support of two of our brilliant Birmingham experience hosts, Matrix VR and Hockley Social Club. ”

Those attending the Future Faces event in August will be able to try a range of virtual reality games from light saber battles and surviving the zombie apocalypse to virtual dodgeball and paintball.

Guests are welcome to continue their night at Hockley Social Club, where there is a vast selection of drinks and street food eats on offer.
