Face to face business networking

Synergy Network are hosting their next business networking morning at the Holiday Inn Nottingham on Friday 23 October, from 7:00 to 9:00 AM. It's an early start, but that's the whole point — you're in and out before the proper working day even kicks off.

If you've never been, it helps to know how they work. Synergy is a local, friendly networking group built on genuine connections: sharing knowledge, making introductions and growing together, rather than just passing referrals for the sake of numbers. It's more about the people you meet than the tally of leads you walk away with.

Every session follows a set run. It starts with arrival, coffee and open networking, followed by a full English or continental breakfast. Then come the member and visitor presentations, and the breakout session, which is the part that changes each week: it alternates between a business presentation and a business discussion. After that, there's a contributions round and any other business before the morning closes.

The whole thing runs from 7:00 to 9:00 AM at the Holiday Inn Nottingham, an IHG Hotel, Castle Marina, Nottingham NG7 1GX. Tickets are £20, and there are no refunds.
