Get Better in Chelmsford | Built For Growth: The Chelmsford Opportunity
About this Event
About this event:
Chelmsford is growing faster than it has in a century. Beaulieu Park Station, the Garden Community, thousands of new homes, real investment - a wave of new customers is arriving on your doorstep.
The businesses that get found and chosen first will own the next decade. Most aren't ready.
This is the first of three connected mornings from Get Better in Chelmsford, in partnership with Chelmsford City Council. Free breakfast, a room full of ambitious local business owners, and three hours built to leave you knowing exactly what to do next.
What you'll leave with:
The local opportunity, in plain terms - what's changing and what it means for you commercially.
The fundamentals to get found and get chosen, including how to be found in AI search.
On the stage:
Spencer Davis, Ellisons - the view from a firm that has grown here and is watching the city change around it
Dan Feist - The Essex Cricket Master Plan
Richard Brenkley, Better - get found and get chosen: search, AI search, and sharpening your proposition
More speakers TBC
Who this is for:
Established Chelmsford businesses who want to make sure the new arrivals find them first. Businesses from outside Chelmsford who want to meet the local business community. And anyone who's been to Get Better before - this year is bigger, new venue, new format.
