TOPIC - Grow Your Business Through Awards
Taking part in strategically selected awards can help you to achieve your business goals through increased visibility, expanded network and credibility and authority in your sector. By maximising the whole process you can boost your audience, attract new clients and create opportunities including PR and press, podcast and speaking invitations, judging and sponsoring awards and more.
In this session Emma will look at how awards can be mapped to your specific goals and used strategically to grow your business.

Socially Shared membership is optional, and you can choose to join if you feel that it is the right thing for you and your business. Although, many people do choose to become a member, as it's affordable with lots of benefits and cost savings.
Membership is for you as an individual and you do not belong to any one network area. This provides freedom, enabling you to attend as many meetings and events as you wish, without limitation.
We do not have a one seat policy, because we believe there is more than enough business to go around and there’s so much to learn from each other! Collaboration is something we champion too and this can be stifled by restricting representatives from any one sector.
Annual membership starts from only £149 and your membership can start at any point throughout the year. As a member you will have access to any network meeting and events that we host, at a discounted price.
