What happens at our casual events?
Business networking is a process of building relationships with other business professionals and like-minded individuals to exchange information and ideas, develop new business opportunities, and find potential customers or partners. The best way to network is to get involved in local business events, attend industry trade shows, or join a professional organization or business association. You can also connect with other businesses online through social media, business directories, or online forums.

Chat away
It's time to get chatting.
Now you know what everyone does, it's time to mingle and start down the road to collaboration.
Occasional Guest Speakers
Occasionally, a guest speaker will give a short presentation.
The speakers will either be industry experts, inspirational people or members of the Monmouthshire Business Network itself.
The presentation will usually end with a question and answers session.
Afterwards
After the main session is over, feel free to continue chatting and collaborating. Dependent on the venue, there may also be an opportunity to setup your laptop and work or hold an impromptu meeting.
