Wiki Biz Co-Working November

Wiki Biz Co-Working returns to Change Please (Willen Lake Bar and Kitchen) on Wednesday 4 November, from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm. It's run by the Wiki Biz Network, and the whole thing is built around a simple idea: leave the office or the home for the morning and spend it with other women in business, combining co-working and networking in one go.

If you've spent the last few weeks working from your kitchen table or staring at the same four walls of a home office, it's a decent excuse to get out. The format is straightforward: you bring your laptop, grab a coffee, and get on with your morning's work while sitting among other women doing the same. There's no set agenda or formal programme to follow, so you can stick to your own to-do list rather than having your morning dictated by someone else's schedule.

That's where the networking side of things comes in. Because everyone's in the same room and working on their own things, the connections happen naturally between the tasks. It's less about pitching yourself and more about being around like-minded people who get what it's like to run a business, so you can chat and connect without it feeling like a forced exercise. You're there to get things done, but you're doing it in company rather than in isolation.

The session runs for three and a half hours in person, so it's a proper morning's work rather than a quick coffee stop. It's held at Change Please (Willen Lake Bar and Kitchen) at Willen Lake, Milton Keynes, MK15 0DS. Tickets are £10 and available via Eventbrite, and the whole thing runs from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm on Wednesday 4 November.
