Meet other businesses and expand your network at our next virtual South East FSB Connect Event

Event details

In the first week of each month we bring you free-to-attend virtual networking for businesses in and around the South East of England.

This is your opportunity to meet with other entrepreneurs, self-employed people and small business owners, to continue to network, collaborate and support each other.

We will meet virtually for about an hour where we will network and share tips and updates. Attendees will each be given time to introduce themselves in a supportive, unpressured environment.

Each meeting will also feature a dedicated speaker on various topics designed to assist you with your business. FSB representatives will be on hand as well to talk to you about ensuring you get the most from your FSB membership.

This month's guest speaker will be Catherine Grinyer from Attendable, winners of the South East FSB Diversity & Inclusion Award 2023.
