Biz & Banter

Let’s Get Visible!

THURSDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER 09:15 – 11:45
CHARTRIDGE PARK GOLF CLUB, CHESHAM

A morning of relaxed & informal networking for local entrepreneurs, with an added dose of fun!

Networking done differently…

If you’re fed up of traditional networking or maybe you don’t go networking because you dread the thought of it then this is for you!

This morning of networking will be all about you and having a bit of fun all in the name of “work”!

There’ll be lots of time to mingle & chat with other attendees and some interactive fun features, as well as an expert panel of speakers. PLUS you’ll go home with a special goody bag!

The Details…

The event is taking place on Thursday 25th September between 09:15 to 11:45am, at Chartridge Park Golf Club, Chartridge, Chesham, Buckinghamshire, HP5 2TF.
Our event is taking place in the Main Room, access via the patio and there is lots of parking available.

The event will run from 09:15 to 11:45 but you don’t need to attend for the whole time. Come when you can and leave when you need. We will have a talk from our panel at 10am for around 45 minutes.

This event is open to all local entrepreneurs, freelancers and business owners in and around The Chilterns.

We will have tea & coffee and pastries available (included in your ticket price).

Bring your baby! I know it’s hard to run a business, be a parent and network, so if you have a young one please feel free to bring them along. It is a very relaxed environment and many of us are parents too so totally get it. Please just make sure they remain under your supervision throughout.

Early bird tickets are £15 each; click the button below to book.

Networking Bingo

It’s easy to stick with the same people you know when you attend an event but we’d love you to mingle & meet some new people so you’ll be invited to play ‘Networking Bingo’. One attendee who completes their bingo card will win 6 months Chiltern Biz Peak membership.

Small Biz Photo Booth

Start getting visible by having some fun with our small biz photo booth props! And don’t forget to share your pics on socials afterwards.
