Experts from across the craft industry will be on hand to offer scores of top advice at Craft Business' networking and seminar event, now less than two months away.
Taking place in Leamington Spa on Wednesday 17th October, the Networking Forum will give manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers the opportunity to share ideas as well as pick up on some top tips from those in the know. Newly confirmed speakers include the Craft and Hobby Association as well as the Federation of Small Businesses. A spokesperson from the Federation of Garden and Leisure Manufacturers (Gardenex) will also be discussing the opportunities for British exhibitors at the CHA's Winter Show and the potentiality of the export market.
After a hot buffet lunch, the group will split off into two groups of retailers and manufacturers and will attend a set of specific seminars dedicated to their particular part of the market. The day will be rounded off with a networking event in the evening. Tea and coffee will be provided all day and attendees will walk away with a Craft Business goodybag.
Rooms at the Mallory Hotel range include bed and breakfast and range from £135 to £200 a night. Please see http://www.mallory.co.uk for more details.
“We're putting together a really strong programme which will not only provide every attendee with the expertise to keep their business on the straight and narrow, but also a rare opportunity to network with influential industry insiders,” says Craft Business Editor Anna Blewett. “It's a fantastic opportunity to strengthen your business, learn new skills and at the end of the day have a good chat over a glass of wine. What could be better!” she adds.
