Canapes, cocktails, and bloody good conversation for online business owners

Join us for In Conversation — an intimate-ish (think you + 30 others) business social, anchored by a live podcast-style discussion
About this Event

For the record, this is *not* one of those huge summit-y things that:


😬 cost many hundreds of dollars

😰 squish you into a sweaty perspex bucket seat for 7 hours alongside 300 ‘new business friends’

🫨 bubble you over with ideas, and

👋 ferry you out the door — or, perhaps more disappointingly, straight into another offer…



Instead, it’s a business social — anchored by a live podcast-style discussion,
where you’ll be:

☺️ In a room with around 30 other online business owners (and precisely ZERO perspex bucket seats)

😋 Enjoying a parade of delicious nibbly things (think whipped ricotta crostinis with pear and prosciutto, and beef sliders with sweet ‘n salty pickles)

🍸Enlisting the services of a ready-to-please bartender, starting with a free cocktail *or* mocktail on arrival

🍿Pulling up a seat for a 45-minute podcast-style stint part-way through the afternoon, as I pick the brains of a trio of business owners I’ve known, loved, and admired for years on topics they’re uniquely qualified to weigh in on, like what it *actually* takes to host a 250-person event — one where you’re flying speakers in from the US and UK (and whether it’s worth it…), what it feels like when you flip the bird to conventional business wisdom and do it your own way, and what the eff happens — to your ambition, your capacity, your compass — when kids enter the equation

👏 Then enjoying the new level of flow that exists in all the conversations that come after



This is just an outline of what happens in the room, by the way...


Pre and post-event conversations are also part of the deal (*if* you want them to be!), thanks to:

  • a living directory, so you can see who’s going to be there ahead of time, and easily (re)connect with people AFTER the event
  • (optional!) Voxer dates with 2 to 3 other attendees, complete with (relevant) conversation starters, so you don’t have to lead with banter about the weather AND you walk into the room having already chatted with someone in a meaningful way, and
  • a Bingo card on arrival, to give you a reason to mingle (because yes, there will be prizes!) and, perhaps more importantly, a map for doing so 😉
