Hosted by broadcaster Sian Lloyd, this conference, in the stunning backdrop of Adventure Parc Snowdonia, puts the focus on North Wales small businesses and spotlights the tools that business owners need to survive and thrive during these difficult times. Visit the business support organisation stands at the event (see below for details), network with like-minded business people and be inspired and informed from our range of speakers.
Three sessions throughout the day will examine the support your business can access from organisations such as FSB, Business Wales, local colleges and the Development Bank of Wales. Hear also from our financial experts from the Money and Pensions Service on how you can protect the hard work you have put into your business by sound financial planning. Also learn how professional branding and public relations can help your small business fly! Our keynote speaker is Sid Madge of meee.global who will be sharing his insights into how professional branding and marketing can help your small business fly!
We are also excited to welcome Simon Dutton who will be delivering a session called Playing for Success® - this session uses LEGO® Serious Play® and 'thinking with your hands' to unlock the issues facing small businesses today. No need to bring your own LEGO® bricks!
