Join us for an evening of knowledge sharing, professional growth, and community building.

This event, in conjunction with The Institute of Directors, presents a unique opportunity for local business owners and professionals to connect, share ideas, and expand their networks in a relaxed, enjoyable setting.

Attendees can look forward to engaging "Ask the Expert" sessions; a drop-in clinic format where business experts will be available to discuss various aspects of business management, strategy, and growth.

Whether you're seeking advice on financial planning, marketing strategies, or other business aspects, our experts are here to help. While you network and gain valuable insights, enjoy a selection of wine, beer, soft drinks, or tea and coffee.

There is no parking at the venue but it is 0.3 miles from Basildon Train Station and surrounded by multiple public car parks.

Accessibility Information: The venue is fully accessible. 

Due to limited numbers, only 1 ticket per email address can be booked for this event.
