Join us for Connecting for Christmas, a festive get-together for social enterprises, bringing people together for a morning of networking, fresh ideas and Christmas cheer.
This year, we’re combining a practical marketing masterclass with opportunities to connect with other organisations, enjoy a Christmas-themed lunch and browse a selection of stalls offering festive gifts.
All I Want for Christmas Is… More Customers!
Our guest speaker, Phil Teasdale, founder and CEO of Enterprise Made Simple, will be sharing practical ways to help your social enterprise raise its profile, reach more customers and make the most of its marketing.
From creating social media content that gets noticed to telling your story, using free digital tools and exploring how AI can help, Phil’s interactive session will be packed with ideas you can put into practice without stretching your budget.
Expect festive challenges, a little friendly competition and plenty of fun along the way, with practical takeaways to help you make your marketing work harder.
