Business Event: Protect What You've Built

Protect What You've Built is coming to Clock Barn in Reading on Wednesday 4 November, starting at 09:00. It's a business event that takes its title from its main theme: protecting what you've built. The session runs on a Wednesday morning, so it's one of those mid-week dates you can fit around your working day rather than having to clear an entire evening.

Clock Barn is well-placed for anyone coming in from across the town. Reading is a historic market town and a major economic hub in the Thames Valley, and its business scene is one of the most active outside London. It pulls from a wide range of sectors — financial services, technology, the creative industries, manufacturing, healthcare and the public sector — so the crowd you'll find here is usually a real mix. The town draws everyone from tech startups to established corporations, and the networking venues run from the RISC building to places like Hall & Woodhouse.

Because the business community here is so broad, events like this tend to bring together people from very different backgrounds. You'll find the tech crowd sitting alongside the creative and corporate sides of town, which is often where the most useful conversations happen. If you're running a business in Reading, it's a good chance to step away from the desk for a morning and catch up with people from across the local economy.

It all kicks off at 09:00 on Wednesday 4 November at Clock Barn, with the session built around the theme of protecting what you've built.
