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

Join FSB Essex for a one-off 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 Harlow.

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

This event is being run in partnership with the WOW Effect and kindly supported by ARU’s Arise Innovation Hub in Harlow.

Member tickets for this event are £8 and non-member tickets are £10. The ticket price includes tea, coffee, juice and pastries. 

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.

There is plenty of free parking on site - you will need to enter your registration number on the machine at reception. Harlow Town train station is 2.6 miles away.
