Event Details

Join us for an exciting in-person networking event in Bakewell on 26 July, where small business owners can connect, learn, and promote their businesses. Hosted by Debbie Porter of Destination Digital in the beautiful surroundings of the Peak District National Park Headquarters, it will be a summer celebration and we’re inviting businesses from across Derbyshire to join us.

The event will feature engaging speed networking sessions, where you'll have the opportunity to meet a range of small business owners from various industries. This fast-paced format allows you to make meaningful connections efficiently, exchange business cards, and discuss potential collaborations—all in a short amount of time. It's an excellent way to expand your network and open doors to new opportunities.

In addition to the informative sessions and networking, we're dedicating space for small business owners to showcase their products and services. Feel free to bring along small items such as samples and leaflets to promote your business directly to other attendees. This interactive and hands-on approach will help you generate interest and create awareness about your offerings among a targeted audience.

Remember, this event aims to foster a friendly and informal atmosphere, ensuring everyone feels welcome and comfortable. You'll have the chance to meet like-minded entrepreneurs, exchange ideas, and collaborate in a supportive community. Ian Pownall, FSB Membership Advisor, will also be on hand to showcase the valuable services that FSB offer support and empower small businesses.
