We're bringing together decision-makers, business owners, and third-sector leaders for our new, speed networking event.
Is networking not working? Its hard to find the right people in organisations to create a meaningful relationship.

That’s why we’re hosting our new "Speed Networking" event in January.

We're bringing together decision-makers, business owners, and third-sector leaders for an event that’s not about sales pitches, it’s about finding that next great opportunity to collaborate and partner up.

Think of it as a way to quickly find the people in the organisations with interests and values like yours.
It’s a chance to:
* Connect with others whose work complements yours.
* Build new partnerships based on shared values, not KPIs or sales goals.
* Align around shared visions rather than individual agendas.

When you connect great causes and great people, real impact follows. Let’s find out what we can achieve when we all pull in the same direction.

Who Should Attend

This event is designed for the people who can drive a partnership forward. We're bringing together leaders, decision-makers, and heads of departments from across the North East, including:

* Business owners and private-sector leaders
* Senior managers from local authorities and health
* Third-sector leaders and charity trustees
(Sales or Business Development Managers, this ones not for you)

This is for you if you are genuinely making a difference and believe that real change doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s for individuals who want to build genuine partnerships built on shared values, not just shared goals , and are ready to align around shared outcomes rather than individual agendas.
