What can you expect at this event?

You will also have the chance to share your business challenges, explore potential solutions to those challenges, and discuss any new ideas you would like feedback on.

Throughout the morning, you are welcome to help yourself to hot drinks, water and healthy snacks to keep you going.

How will you feel by the end of the Thrive Meetup?

By the end of the meetup, you will:

• Feel part of a community - having connected with other women in business from Brighton and beyond.
• Feel energised - having had a chance to reflect on your business challenges and identify what you need to do next to achieve your goals.

Why women only?
