This isn't just networking - it's speed networking!

Join FSB Essex for this small business speed networking session and get to talk with as many businesses as possible in one room. Meet with like-minded entrepreneurs, self-employed people and small business owners at the innovative venue of ARU’s Arise Innovation Hub in Chelmsford.

Network, collaborate, promote your services and support each other at this event, which is open to FSB members and non-members. You’ll have organised sessions of one-to-one networking, followed by free networking so you can choose who you connect with.

Please note, that we will be starting the speed networking session promptly at 09.50am and you must be able to commit until 11.30am when the speed networking session ends.

There is normally a waiting list for speed networking, so if you need to cancel, please give us as much notice as possible to allow others to attend.

Member tickets for this event are £9 and non-member tickets are £11. The ticket price includes tea, coffee, juice and pastries. 

Please note that there is no parking available at the venue so you will need to use nearby public car parks or public transport. The venue is a 30-minute trainride outside of London and 0.7 miles from Chelmsford train station.

Accessibility Information: The venue is fully accessible.
