Ever go to a networking event where there are dozens of people in the room, but you end up talking to just a handful, and come away wondering what missed opportunities there were? Not any more! Join FSB Essex and Castle Point Council for this small business speed networking event, where you will get to walk away with at least 20 business cards.

Meet with like-minded entrepreneurs, self-employed people and small business owners at the modern industrial style business centre of International House in the heart of Canvey Island. Network, collaborate, promote your services and support each other at this event, which is open to FSB members and non-members.

Please arrive at 17.30pm for tea, coffee and a light buffet of sandwiches. We shall be starting the speed networking session promptly at 18.00pm with organised and structured one-to-one networking sessions of 4 minutes per couple. After 40 minutes, we shall have a short break, to hear from both FSB and Castle Point Council about the business support they offer. Around 19.00pm, this will be followed by another 40-minute speed networking session of organised and structured one-to-one networking sessions at 4 minutes each per couple. You are then welcome to stay until 20.00pm, so you can choose who to connect with during a free networking session.
