The Science of Networking
Following the successful launch of Colony Women in March 2017, we are pleased to confirm our summer event on 13 July. It will combine business, women, networking and coffee with a slightly science and tech theme, a creative format and a fabulous panel of keynote speakers.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
- NETWORKING – and lots of it as you’ll meet more than your fellow table attendees.
- COFFEE – to drink and to learn about.
- KEYNOTE SPEAKERS – presenting the venue, women in STEM, critical cyber safety issues in business, networking skills, and the coffee.
- LADIES – the event will be of particular benefit to female business owners, managers and key decision makers in businesses trading in Cheshire, Manchester, and Merseyside.
- FUN – we’re serious about networking work but it’s about people after all so it will be friendly, informal and fun.
- CONNECTIONS Service (optional extra) – if you’re trying to connect with a particular contact, let us help. We can do the legwork to invite your chosen contact as your guest when you select a double ticket option and add the Connections ticket option.
- PREVIEW – an optional private tour of The Sci-Tech venue and office space.
