Join businesses from across the Midlands in a unique event, set within the inspiring surroundings of Conkers and the National Forest.

Agenda:
* 9:30am Arrivals, teas and coffees and open networking
* 10am Welcome and round the room introductions, including brief presentations from:

After initial networking and introductions, we’ll take the conversation outdoors; business coach and qualified walking guide Katy Draper will provide a topical business / nature connection question for discussion over a guided netwalking session—an hour-long walk through the Conkers countryside, where you can build connections and discuss ideas and challenges in a relaxed and energising setting.
Whether you’re looking to expand your network, gain fresh business insights, or simply step away from the office for an inspiring morning, this event offers the perfect blend of professional development and well being.
