Busy Collaborate

Busy Collaborate returns to MK Gallery on Friday 29 January 2027, this time taking over the Sky Room. It's a day built around connection, collaboration and learning through conversation, and it's run by Aruna Rao and Collaborate MK.

If the name sounds familiar, that's because it is. This is a return for the session, which comes back following a strong response to the previous edition. The whole thing is aimed at business owners who want to grow their network, raise their profile and find potential collaborations. The day brings together two networking communities of business owners, so the room will be a mix of people from across the local business scene rather than just one particular circle.

For those who want to do more than just work the room, there are exhibitor stands and sponsorship packages available. The stands start from £85 plus VAT, and the Event Sponsorship Package is £175 plus VAT, both aimed at anyone looking to increase their visibility on the day. If you're just coming to network, the focus remains on the conversation and the connections you make.

It runs from 10 am to 2 pm, with doors opening at 9:30 am, so you've got a half-hour to get settled before things kick off. You'll find it in the Sky Room at MK Gallery, 900 Midsummer Boulevard, Milton Keynes MK9 3QA.
