Business Buzz Abingdon networking sessions are an excellent way to mingle face-to-face with other local businesses in a free-flowing, fun atmosphere. Designed to work with your schedule, there’s no such thing as late with this two-hour drop-in session. Turn up whenever you like before the event closes at 12 noon and stay for 5 minutes or the full two hours. With no membership and no strings attached, it’s never been easier to meet your local business community. For just £10+ VAT you’ll get refreshments, a brilliant new set of contacts and the warmest of welcomes. With new people every month and a huge buzz in the room you’re sure to make some great connections; we believe the more you chat, the more business just happens. We meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month between 10 am and 12 pm at the same venue. While you can book on the day, we ask that you purchase your ticket before you set off on your journey. This makes it much easier to check you in and get you to the coffee as soon as possible! How it works When you come to a Buzz you’ll be welcomed by the Buzz team, shown where the coffee is and introduced to some of the other attendees. We’re here if you need further introductions to more guests, but you’ll find that everyone is really friendly and you can easily move around conversations to network as you like. The focus is open networking and easy-going conversations so that more business happens between our attendees easily. At roughly 11 am there is a short announcement section and you’ll find out who is in the room to help facilitate more connections. Information Source: Business Buzz | eventbrite
