Athena Bristol Summit | Be Seen. Be Chosen!

Some Fridays are for catching up. This one is for moving forward.

Local women in business. Four hours built around one theme... 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 & 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨.

The women in this room are at every stage: startups finding their feet, businesses pivoting into something new & established names who are very good at what they do.

𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴, 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦.

It's a full agenda, speed networking, a professional photographer, a two-course lunch & it's designed to feel like the kind of day you come away from having actually done something, not just attended something.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧

The #𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗭𝗭𝗙𝗜𝗭𝗭 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 is the centrepiece of the event - an interactive think tank-style discussion where women in business share insights, challenges, ideas & practical strategies around the event theme.

You sit at a table, you work through a question with the women next to you, & then the room hears what came up.

𝘛𝘪𝘱𝘴, 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.

The expertise is already in the room...this is where it gets used.

Each table has discussion time & play back. Then it opens up to the room: questions, insights, anything useful. You also get to show what you know.

𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗧 𝗢𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦

𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: £45 Same room, same lunch, same four hours. This is the one day of the year all the Athena Bristol groups are in the same place. Block it now before October arrives, reserve your seat!

𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀: £55 (2𝘧𝘰𝘳1) Your ticket covers two things: this Summit on 23 October, plus an online Athena Bristol meeting of your choice, so you join either already knowing faces!

For guests. this is what the two-for-one is about...

  • This is a try-before-you-buy day. Come & see whether these are your people.

  • Nobody will corner you to sign up for anything.

  • It's completely fine to have a brilliant day & decide Athena isn't for you.

  • That's the whole point - you get to work it out for yourself, in the room, with actual women, rather than joining & hoping.

  • One ticket. Two events. Zero obligation.

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦

A room full of brilliant women in business & most of them either don't know each other yet or know each other very well!

Athena Bristol has been quietly growing for the past year: two groups, regular online meetings, & a community of women who are genuinely invested in each other's businesses. The Summit is twice a year & a day we all get in the same room as one Region. A third group is brewing too!

If you've been thinking about Athena Bristol, this is where you start. If you're already in it, this is where you remind yourself why!

Thank you for your time & reading this far! Really hope to see you there!
