About this Event
No one builds a business alone - even when it feels like it.
Join us at Junction 3 Library Library in Bristol on Tuesday 3rd March for an evening that celebrates the people, programmes, and communities that help us grow. Because behind every business owner is a village - whether that's a mentor who believed in you, a programme that gave you the tools, or a room full of women who just get it.
This special CatalystHER event coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Business & IP Centre network - two decades of supporting entrepreneurs and business owners across the UK. We're marking the occasion by asking our panel one big question: what support changed everything for you?
Expect honest conversations about asking for help (and why it's harder than it should be), the turning points that came from saying yes to support, and practical insights on where to find your village - wherever you are in your business journey.
Whether you're thinking about starting a business, in the thick of building one, or looking for your next chapter - this is an evening to connect with women who champion each other.
What to expect:
- A panel conversation on the power of support, mentorship, and community in business
- Honest stories about the help that made a difference - and the moments we wished we'd asked sooner
- Space to connect with Bristol's businesswomen - no forced networking, just real conversation
- A warm, welcoming room where you can be yourself
Your hosts:
Lisa Yelland, Emma Dark, and Helen Sanders - your CatalystHER crew.
